Abstract
This book is an exposition of our work, over the past few years, on the W3 algebra: the representation theory; the corresponding semi-infinite cohomology for special modules; the operator algebra of related W3 string models and its BV algebra interpretation. This study has several motivations from different directions, which we will briefly indicate before returning to an outline of the results.
