Abstract: (Elsevier)
A new form is derived for the generating function, χ [ λ ] ( x ) = Σ n =0 ∞ x n χ n [ λ ] , which counts the number of times, χ n [ λ ] , that the irreducible O( D − 1) rotation group representation [λ] appears at the n th mass level for the bosonic string. The derivation goes through for arbitrary old spatial dimensions, D − 1 = 2 v + 1. Simplifications of the results are noted for large v and the relation to a previously obtained formula for χ [ λ ] ( x ) is explained.
