A simplifying feature of the heterotic one loop four graviton amplitude

We show that the weight four modular graph functions that contribute to the integrand of the t8t8D4R4 term at one loop in heterotic string theory do not require regularization, and hence the integrand is simple. This is unlike the graphs that contribute to the integrands of the other gravitational t...
