Local Photon and Graviton Mass and its Consequences
read the original abstract
We show that non-zero masses for a spin-1 graviton (called graviphoton) leads to considerable gravitomagnetic fields around rotating mass densities, which are not observed. The solution to the problem is found by an equivalent graviphoton mass which depends on the local mass density to ensure the principle of equivalence. This solution, derived from Einstein-Proca equations, has important consequences such as a correction term for the Cooper-pair mass anomaly reported by Tate among many others. Similar results were obtained for the photon mass which is then proportional to the charge density in matter. For the case of coherent matter the predicted effects have been experimentally observed by the authors.
