Do degeneracy-labeling charges generate a symmetry at zero coupling?
Determine the nature of the hypothetical conserved charges whose eigenvalues furnish additional quantum numbers distinguishing degenerate single-particle states in the open bosonic string spectrum, and ascertain whether these charges generate a symmetry of the theory at zero string coupling.
References
These additional quantum numbers might correspond to the eigenvalue of the string states under the action of some hypothetical conserved charges. Yet, the nature of these charges is not a priori known, nor is it clear whether they generate a hitherto unidentified symmetry of the theory at zero string coupling.
