Abstract
We investigate the spectrum of physical states in the W3 string theory , up to level 2 for a multiscalar string, and up to level 4 for the tw o-scalar string. The (open) W3 string has a photon as its only massles s state. By using screening charges to study the null physical states in the two-scalar W3 string, we are able to learn about the gauge symm etries of the states in the multiscalar W3 string.
