We examine the mechanism for generating a mass for a U(1) vector field introduced by Stueckelberg. First, it is shown that renormalization of the vector mass is identical to the renormalization of the vector field on account of gauge invariance. We then consider how the vector mass affects the effective potential in scalar quantum electrodynamics at one-loop order. The possibility of extending this mechanism to couple, in a gauge invariant way, a charged vector field to the photon is discussed.

    Abstract-only evaluation of a conjectured equivalence between entropy-positivity bounds and thermal grand potential decrease, with the full text unavailable due to a document mismatch.

  2. Classical constant electric fields and the Schwinger effect in de Sitter

    hep-ph 2025-08 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Constant electric fields in de Sitter require a tachyonic photon mass ~H, yielding finite positive Schwinger currents for massless fermions and scalars after on-shell renormalization.
