  abstract: In this dissertation, we study various aspects of W algebras
  abstract: and W strings, which are generalizations of the bosonic
  abstract: string theory with higher-spin world-sheet symmetries. We
  abstract: investigate the structure of the BRST operator for the W3
  abstract: string theory, and the generalization to higher-spin string
  abstract: theories implied by this BRST operator. We present a simple
  abstract: procedure for constructing the complete cohomology of the
  abstract: two-scalar and multi-scalar W3 strings. We present a
  abstract: procedure for computing gauge-invariant scattering amplitudes
  abstract: for W strings, and use this procedure to calculate many three
  abstract: and four-point functions for the multi-scalar W3 string. We
  abstract: study the spectrum of physical states for W2,, strings, based
  abstract: on two-dimensional theories with local spin-2 and spin-s
  abstract: symmetries, and explore the relation of the resulting
  abstract: effective Virasoro string theories to certain minimal models.
