Photon mass via current confinement
A parity invariant theory, consisting of two massive Dirac fields, defined in three dimensional space–time, with the confinement of a certain current is studied. It is found that the electromagnetic field, when coupled minimally to these Dirac fields, becomes massive owing to the current confinement...
