Description
We develop a theory of characteristic classes for the cohomology of topological modular forms with \Gamma_0(3)-level structures. These classes are supposed to play an important role in the determination of the string bordism ring. It turns out that the TMF_0(3)-cohomology of BString is freely generated by Pontryagin classes and one extra class which relates to the theory of cubical structures for line bundles on elliptic curves.
