Abstract

We provide a complete classification of the unitary irreducible representations of the (2+1)-dimensional Poincaré group. We show, in particular, that only two types of ’’spin’’ are available for massless field theories. We also construct generalized Foldy–Wouthuysen transformations which connect the physical UIR’s with covariant field theories in three dimensions.
