Higgs-free Massive Nonabelian Gauge Theories
Abstract
Description
We analyze nonabelian massive Higgs-free theories in the causal Epstein-Glaser approach. Recently, there has been renewed interest in these models. In particular we consider the well-known Curci-Ferrari model and the nonabelian Stückelberg models. We explicitly show the reason why the considered models fail to be unitary. In our approach only the asymptotic (linear) BRS-symmetry has to be considered.
