Abstract

A construction of elements of the BRS cohomology of ghost number +/- 1 in c&lt;1 string theory is described, and their two-point function computed on the sphere. The construction makes precise the relation between these extra states and null vectors. The physical states of ghost number +1 are found to be exact forms with respect to a ``conjugate'' BRS operator.
