Discrete States in the $W_3$ String

Abstract

We construct the low-lying discrete states of the two-scalar $W_3$ string. This includes states that correspond to the analogues of the ground ring generators of the ordinary two-dimensional string. These give rise to infinite towers of discrete states at higher levels.
