in the bosonic case and in the superstring 10D case it is 16 colours.

Here at PF we have 26 smilies. one for each parameter in the standard model:rolleyes: :smile: :approve: :cry:

:frown: :bugeye: :eek: :rolleyes: :shy:

:!) :mad: :wink: o:)

:-p :devil: :biggrin: :blushing:

:cool: :redface: :smile: :-p :confused:

:zzz:

Hi arivero,

Your slow post [not Haloscan] to the Reference Frame thread above with Lubos' response brings sequences to my perspective.

Were an 8 to accompany the 5, 13 then Fibonacci numbers come to my mind.

I would bet for a 9. The point is that 10-dimensional and 26 dimensional strings have the same signature module 8. The signature is number of spatial dimensions minus number of time dimensions, so 9-1=8 or 25-1=24. The 25-1=24 is the origin of the work of Borcherds you mentioned in other thread.

In the middle we have 17-1=16, so 18 dimensions and then some unknown object with a group SO(2^9).

But speaking of sequences, I found the one of hexagonal numbers, hidden in my https://www.physicsforums.com/blogs/arivero-81/generations-1008/ post.
