Abstract

We state the implications on the properties of vector mesons due to gauge invariance. In particular, we find that polarized vector mesons exhibit a property in the radiation distribution of order ω1\omega^{-1} in the photon energy, namely it is null when the gyromagnetic ratio becomes g=2g=2. Therefore, the generalization of the Burnett-Kroll theorem for polarized vector-meson states is held only if g=2g=2. In addition, radiative interferences between the electric charge and any gauge invariant term is found to be parametrized by a common global factor which can be used to extract information of the involved states by a proper choice of the kinematical region, where they could be relevant.
