New actions in D = 2 and D = 3 are proposed that are dual equivalent to known theories displaying well-defined chirality and helicity, respectively, along with new interpolating actions mapping continuously through the original dualities. The new chiral action in D = 2 is a second-order theory displaying the chiral constraint dynamically. In D = 3 the helicity constraint is imposed a la Siegel displaying a continuous mapping between the Maxwell–Chern–Simons and the self-dual model. It is also shown that the resulting theories introduce new versions of the Hull noton to take care of the symmetry aspects of the original models. The new interpolating formulation is then reexamined as a condensed phase for the discussion of duality under the light of the dual mechanisms — Julia–Toulouse and Higgs — establishing new interpolating actions in the dilute phase, according to these mechanisms.

This paper is devoted to formulating the interaction-picture dynamics of the self-dual field minimally coupled to fermions. As a preliminary, we quantize the free self-dual model by means of the Dirac-bracket quantization procedure. The free self-dual model turns out to be a relativistically invariant quantum field theory whose excitations are identical to the physical (gauge-invariant) excitations of the free Maxwell–Chern–Simons theory. The interacting model is also quantized through the Dirac-bracket quantization procedure. One of the self-dual field components is found not to commute, at equal times, with the fermionic fields. Hence, the formulation of the interaction-picture dynamics demands the elimination of that component. This procedure brings, in turn, two new interactions terms, which are local in space and time while nonrenormalizable by power counting. Relativistic invariance is tested in connection with the elastic fermion–fermion scattering amplitude. We prove that all the noncovariant pieces in the interaction Hamiltonian are equivalent to the covariant minimal interaction of the self-dual field with the fermions. The high-energy behavior of the self-dual field propagator confirms that the coupled theory is nonrenormalizable. The self-dual field minimally coupled to fermions bears no resemblance to the renormalizable model defined by the Maxwell–Chern–Simons field minimally coupled to fermions.

Starting from a decomposition of the self-dual field in (2+1) dimensions, we build up an alternative quantum theory which consists of a self-dual model coupled to a Maxwell-generalized Chern–Simons theory. We discuss the fermion–boson equivalence of this quantum theory by comparing it with the Thirring model. Using these results we were able to compute the mass of the bosonized fermions up to third order in 1/m. Some problems related to the number of poles of the effective propagator are also addressed.

We present a unified analysis of the self-dual, second order, topologically massive and the recently introduced fourth-order models of massive gravity in 3D. We show that there is a family of first-order actions which interpolate between these different single excitation models. We show how the master actions are related by duality transformation. We construct by the same method the master action which relates the fourth-order new massive model with two excitations and the usual second-order model with Fierz–Pauli mass. We show that the more general model obtained by adding a Chern–Simons term to the new massive model is equivalent off-shell to the second-order spontaneously broken linearized massive gravity.

The embedding procedure of Batalin, Fradkin and Tyutin, which allows us to convert a second-class system into a first-class one, is employed to convert second-class interacting models. Two cases are considered. The first one, is the self-dual model minimally coupled to a Dirac fermion field. The other, the self-dual model minimally coupled to a charged scalar field. In both cases, they are found equivalent interacting Maxwell–Chern–Simons type field theories. These equivalences are pushed beyond the formal level, by analyzing some tree level probability amplitudes associated to them.
