Counting states in heterotic SO(32) string theory | A First Course in String Theory
.
d) Write a generating function for the full set of GSO-truncated states in the left-moving sector (include both NS’+ and R’+ states).
Use the convention where counts the number of states with
.
Use and an algebraic manipulator to find the total number of states in heterotic string theory at
.

The left R’+ sector:

However, there are ground states
and
ground states

“Keep only states with ; this defines the left R’+ sector.”
