Abstract

We prove that the description of cubic functors is a wild problem in the sense of the representation theory. On the contrary, we describe several special classes of such functors (2-divisible, weakly alternative, vector spaces and torsion free ones). We also prove that cubic functors can be defined locally and obtain corollaries about their projective dimensions and torsion free parts.
