Query: Gauge Vector Masses from Flat Connections?   We suggest that four dimensional massive gauge vectors could be described by
coupling ordinary Yang-Mills theory to a topological gauge theory. For this the
coupling should excite a nontrivial degree of freedom from the topological
theory, corresponding to the longitudinal polarization of a massive gauge
vector. If the coupling can be selected so that further degrees of freedom are
not excited, one may entirely avoid particles such as the Higgs. Here we
discuss a simple example of this idea, obtained by coupling standard Yang-Mills
theory to the topological gauge theory of flat connections. We propose that our
example might describe a renormalizable theory of massive gauge vectors with no
additional physical degrees of freedom.
