Abstract: (DESY)
The distribution of quasiprimary fields of fixed classes characterized by their O(N)(N) representations YY and the number pp of vector fields from which they are composed at N=N=\infty in dependence on their normal dimension [δ][\delta] is shown to obey a Hardy-Ramanujan law at leading order in a 1N\frac{1}{N}-expansion. We develop a method of collective fusion of the fundamental fields which yields arbitrary \qps and resolves any degeneracy.
