Description
It is shown that the operator counting the number of non-transverse modes of the bosonic string in 26 dimensions can be expressed as the anticommutator of the BRS charge Q with another operator. As a result it is easy to exhibit the cohomology of Q and express the transverse state projection operator of Brink and Olive in terms of Q. (orig.)
