The Cauchy problem for the Proca equation in gravitating dielectric media
We analyze the Cauchy problem for the Proca equation in gravitating dielectric media.

No Proca Photons
We show that the Proca equation in vacuum, as well as its plausible modifications in dielectric media, is incompatible with experimental evidence, no matter how small the Proca mass is.

Proca Fields in Step-index Optical Fibres
The topic of a photon mass has received justified attention over the years with strong theoretical reasoning for its existence. We derive a full description of mode solutions in step-index optical fibres on the basis of Proca's equation as a model for massive photons. The no-go theorem recently found in coaxial waveguides does not appear in the optical fibre case.
