We consider the static quantum potential for a gauge theory which includes a light massive vector field interacting with the familiar U (1) QED photon via a Chern–Simons-like coupling, by using the gauge-invariant, but path-dependent, variables formalism. An exactly screening phase is then obtained, which displays a marked departure of a qualitative nature from massive axionic electrodynamics. The above static potential profile is similar to that encountered in axionic electrodynamics consisting of a massless axion-like field, as well as to that encountered in the coupling between the familiar U (1) QED photon and a second massive gauge field living in the so-called U (1)h hidden-sector, inside a superconducting box.

Gauge Symmetries

The phenomenon of spontaneous symmetry breaking is a common feature of phase transitions in both classical and quantum physics. In a first part we study this phenomenon for the case of a global internal symmetry and give a simple proof of Goldstone’s theorem. We show that a massless excitation appears, corresponding to every generator of a spontaneously broken symmetry. In a second part we extend these ideas to the case of gauge symmetries and derive the Brout–Englert–Higgs mechanism. We show that the gauge boson associated with the spontaneously broken generator acquires a mass and the corresponding field, which would have been the Goldstone boson, decouples and disappears. Its degree of freedom is used to allow the transition from a massless to a massive vector field.

Maximal Density

The implications of the Zeldovich model (baryons interacting through a massive vector field) for the problem of superluminal sound propagation and ferromagnetic transition are examined. In a classical baryon gas at high densities correlation effects lead to the pressure increasing faster than the energy, ultimately resulting in superluminal sound; crystallization phase transition appears however at comparable densities, thus competing with the onset of superluminal sound. For a high density fermi gas the domains of ferromagnetic transition are delineated, indicating a minimal and maximal density below and above which no ferromagnetic transition can be expected. The latter is further affected by relativistic effects requiring a different approach to the calculation of exchange energy and of the ferromagnetic phase.

New Variables

The Lagrangian of an Abelian massive vector field gives a system with second class constraints. We apply the Batalin–Fradkin formalism, which converts second class constraints to first class ones through the introduction of new variables. As a new variable, instead of the Stueckelberg field, we introduce an antisymmetric tensor field. A covariant gauge-fixed action is presented. The unitarity and the duality are also discussed.

The Laplace Transform

The Lagrangian of a (1 + 1)-dimensional massive vector field is quantized. Since it gives the system with second-class constraints, following Batalin and Fradkin, we introduce additional fields. Although the Stueckelberg field is usually introduced, we can use a pseudoscalar field instead. The duality between them is discussed. We show that the Stueckelberg mass term is equivalent to the Laplace transform of the Lagrangian of the gauged Wess-Zumino-Witten model.
