We show thus that a gauge boson mass is generated at this level of radiative correction to the photon propagator. We also point out in our conclusions that the generalization for the non Abelian case is straightforward.5307-5316engArtigo10.1142/S0217751X92002428WOS:A1992JM09200013Acesso restrito7511139477883318
