Abstract
We describe the family of normalizable solutions in linearized open string field theory, defined by ( is BRST charge) understood in the sense for an arbitrary string field . The solutions depend on shifted partition numbers and are parametrized in terms of values of -function at pairs of positive numbers greater than 2. We argue that the operators, defined by these solutions, create mixed quantum-mechanical states by acting on the vacuum (as opposed to standard vertex operators, creating the pure states with definite masses and spins).
