I would like to know how does Polchinski in his book "derive" what is the "tachyon vertex operator" (..as say stated in equation 3.6.25, 6.2.11..) I can't locate a "derivation" of the fact that :eikX: is the tachyon vertex operator.
(..I understand that it follows from some application of the state-operator map but I can't put it together..)
And then what is the meaning of the higher vertex operators" - which are of the form of arbitrary number of either operators of the above kind or the derivatives of X w.r.t either z or ˉz. (..like in equation 6.2.18..)
