标题： Massive to gauge field reduction and gravitational wave zone information

摘要： 我们明确展示了大质量、阿贝尔、矢量场，就像（正确定义的）大质量张量场一样，平滑地趋于其无质量、规范版本：它们只发射最大自旋辐射，并在其（守恒的）源之间传递库仑和（狭义相对论的）牛顿力。 然而，我们的主要动机是表明最近的引力波探测可能无法直接排除非常长程的引力：尽管这些波是在强场区域发射的，但它们在弱场波区被探测到意味着上述等价关系仍然适用。 仍然存在一种不太可能的可能性，即在大质量模型中无法生成强场辐射以再现观测到的回音模式。 另外，平滑的线性极限行为表明，不连续性并不在于质量本身，而是在于阿贝尔与非阿贝尔的杨-米尔斯理论和广义相对论的领域，它们各自的大质量版本已知是不物理的。 显示英文摘要

摘要： We show explicitly that massive, Abelian, vector, just like (properly defined) massive tensor, fields limit smoothly to their massless, gauge, versions: they emit only maximal helicity radiation and mediate Coulomb and (special relativistic) Newtonian, forces between their (conserved) sources. Our main motivation, though, is to show that the recent gravitational wave detection probably cannot directly rule out very long-range gravity: Even though the waves were emitted in a strong field regime, their being detected in the weak field wave zone means the above equivalences apply. There remains the, not unlikely, possibility that no strong field generation of radiation in massive models can reproduce the observed ring-down patterns. Separately, the smooth linear limiting behaviors show that the discontinuity lies not in the mass alone, but rather in Abelian versus non-Abelian, Yang-Mills and General Relativity, regimes, whose respective massive versions are known to be non-physical.
