Picture (string theory)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In superstring theory, each state may be represented by many ways, depending on the way the ground state is defined. Each representation is called a picture, and is denoted by a number, such as 0 picture, -1 picture, etc. The difference between the ground states is according to the action of the superghosts oscillators on them, and the number of the picture (plus 1/2) reflects the highest superghost oscillator which does not annihilate the ground state.
