    The author shows that a representation of a meromorphic bosonic chiral conformal field theory is completely determined by a state within the theory. Moreover, he derives the necessary and sufficient conditions upon a state corresponding to a representation. This is a generalization of the highest-weight representations in Lie algebras.
