Summary
It is shown that the solution of integral equation for Σ2(x) in terms of the confluent hypergeometric function published recently leads to nonlocal mass generation. The effect occurs in the presence of neutrino and photon distributions, as in stellar interiors, and depends on finite-mass regulator for the photon.
