Polynomial functors appeared in algebraic topology in the 1950's and have applications in homotopy theory. In 2000, the author of the paper under review considered the quadratic functors and gave a nice description. Now the author makes efforts to consider the cubic functors. Here the situation seems to be more complicated than in the case of quadratic functors because the author shows that the classification problem involved is a wild problem. However, if additional conditions are imposed, the author does have a complete description of such cubic modules: for example, in the case where 2 is invertible, or cubic functors which are weakly alternative. At the end of the paper, an interesting conjecture on polynomial functors of higher degree is proposed.
