Abstract
The ten-dimensional effective action of the heterotic superstring theory contains a quadratic higher-derivative term in the form of the Euler-number density [Formula: see text]. We discuss the role of this term in determining the dimensionality [Formula: see text] of the physical space–time, obtained by dimensional reduction, applying the Feynman propagator and the zero-action hypothesis.
