Gauge Fixing
The Proca action is the gauge-fixed version of the Stueckelberg action via the Higgs mechanism. Quantizing the Proca action requires the use of second class constraints.
They are not invariant under the electromagnetic gauge transformations
where f is an arbitrary function, except for when m = 0.

Famous quotes containing the word fixing:
“You cutting the lawn, fixing the machines,
all this leprous day and then more vodka,
more soda and the pond forgiving our bodies,
the pond sucking out the throb.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
