BRST Analysis of Physical States in Two-Dimensional Black Hole

Abstract

We study the BRST cohomology for SL(2,R)/U(1) coset model, which describes an exact string black hole solution. It is shown that the physical spectrum could contain not only the extra discrete states corresponding to those in c=1 two-dimensional gravity but also many additional new states with ghost number NFP= -1 2. We also discuss characters for nonunitary representations and the relation of our results to other approaches.
