Abstract

It is examined whether the massless Yang-Mills field theories can describe massive vector particles which have a common mass. The nonzero mass is supposed to be accompanied by poles in vertex functions. It is demonstrated that such poles can be consistent with the Ward identities. Homogeneous linear integral equations describing approximately the residues of these poles are shown to have asymptotic nontrivial solutions.
