On "Electromagnetic Potential Vectors and Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking"

Abstract

The appearance of terms, which are analogous to ones required for symmetry breaking, in Lagrangian of Ref. [1] is shown to be caused by gauge invariance of quantum electrodynamics (QED) and by inaccuracy of the cited author in the choice of canonical variables. These terms do not have physical significance within modern quantum electrodynamics. PACS: 03.50.De, 04.20.Cv, 04.20.Fy, 11.10.Ef.
