Counting states in heterotic SO(32) string theory | A First Course in String Theory
.
c) Calculate the total number of states in heterotic string theory (bosons plus fermions) at .
~~~
.
— This answer is my guess. —

spacetime bosons:
Number of states:
Let
, the number of ways to put n indistinguishable balls into k boxes.
.
Following the same logic:
Postulating a unique vacuum
, the creation operators allow us to construct
degenerate Ramond ground states.
Therefore, there are
ground states
