Abstract

A discussion of the number of degrees of freedom, and their dynamical properties, in higher derivative gravitational theories is presented. It is shown that non-vanishing (Cmnpq)2 terms arise in N=1, D=4 superstring Lagrangians due to one-loop radiative corrections with light field internal lines.
