摘要：

We study the applicability of the intrinsically nonlinear Clebsch vector field decomposition into three scalars in the description of d = 3 field theories. In particular, we note and account for the incompleteness of this parameterization when attempting to use it in variational principles involving Maxwell and Chern-Simons actions. Similarities with string decomposition of metrics and their actions are also pointed out. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
