Vector boson mass generation in two dimensions

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik C Particles and Fields

Abstract

Gauge theories in two dimensions generate masses for the gauge bosons via the Schwinger mechanism. This mechanism is studied in two models based on a direct product group gauge invariance. The gauge boson mass spectrum is determined in each case.
