Double copy initially related massless Yang-Mills and gravitational amplitudes, greatly simplifying the latter. Since then, it has exceeded this particular result and has enabled to construct a larger web of theories (including the zeroth copy as well). It was also shown to hold classically (with for instance an electric charge corresponding to a Schwarzschild spacetime). The extension to the massive case was recently initiated, showing that the double copy of massive gauge fields is not in general physical (although it is at least consistent as the colour-kinematics duality is respected). However, in the case of 3 spacetime dimensions, it was shown that the double copy of topologically massive Yang-Mills was indeed physical up to 5 points, leading to topologically massive gravity. Indeed, it was found that by requiring that one BCJ relation is satisfied, spurious poles can be avoided. This result is expected to hold more generally for all higher-point amplitudes and non-perturbative solutions as in the original massless Yang-Mills and gravity case. This thesis will be devoted to exploring these directions in more depth.

双拷贝最初将无质量的杨-米尔斯和引力振幅联系起来，大大简化了后者。从那时起，它已经超越了这个特定的结果，并使构建一个更大的理论网络成为可能（包括第零个副本）。它也被证明是经典的（例如电荷对应于史瓦西时空）。最近开始了对大质量情况的扩展，表明大质量规范场的双重复制在一般情况下不是物理的（尽管它至少是一致的，因为色-运动学对偶性得到了尊重）。然而，在3个时空维度的情况下，拓扑质量杨-米尔斯的双重副本确实是物理的，直到5点，导致拓扑质量的引力。事实上，它被发现，通过要求一个BCJ关系是满意的，虚假极点可以避免。这一结果预计将保持更普遍的所有高点振幅和非微扰的解决方案，在原来的无质量杨米尔斯和重力的情况下。本论文将致力于更深入地探讨这些方向。
