Abstract
The Aharonov-Bohm (AB) effect is considered in the context of Generalized Electrodynamics (GE) by Podolsky and Bopp. GE is the only extension to Maxwell electrodynamics that is locally U(1)-gauge invariant, admits linear field equations and contains higher-order derivatives of the vector potential. GE admits both massless and massive modes for the photon. We recover the ordinary quantum phase shift of the AB effect, derived in the context of Maxwell electrodynamics, for the massless mode of the photon in GE. The massive mode induces a correction factor to the AB phase shift depending on the photon mass. We study both the magnetic AB effect and its electric counterpart. In principle, accurate experimental observations of AB the phase shift could be used to constrain GE photon mass.
阿哈诺夫-玻姆（AB）效应是波多尔斯基和博普在广义电动力学（GE）的背景下考虑的。广义电动力学是麦克斯韦电动力学的唯一扩展，它具有局部 U(1)-gegauge 不变性，承认线性场方程，并包含矢量势的高阶导数。麦克斯韦电动力学同时承认光子的无量纲和有量纲模式。我们恢复了 AB 效应的普通量子相移，它是在麦克斯韦电动力学的背景下，针对 GE 中光子的无质量模式得出的。大质量模式会根据光子质量对 AB 相移产生修正系数。我们同时研究了磁性 AB 效应及其电性对应效应。原则上，对 AB 相移的精确实验观测可以用来约束 GE 光子质量。
期刊介绍：
Nuclear Physics B focuses on the domain of high energy physics, quantum field theory, statistical systems, and mathematical physics, and includes four main sections: high energy physics - phenomenology, high energy physics - theory, high energy physics - experiment, and quantum field theory, statistical systems, and mathematical physics. The emphasis is on original research papers (Frontiers Articles or Full Length Articles), but Review Articles are also welcome.
