Abstract
The single-particle states of compactified bosonic string theory are classified by a direct product of a fundamental representation of the Heisenberg algebra for the noncompact flat dimensions and an affine- Lie algebra, where the rank of its Lie subalgebra is the number of internal dimensions and its identity depends on their length scales. The operators that create these states are explicitly constructed in light-cone gauge. The massless particles lie in the adjoint representation of .
