Abstract

The gauge structure of the Weyl Gravitoelectromagnetic (GEM) formalism has been investigated, showing that although the theory admits additional propagating modes, only an effective spin-2 sector contributes to physical observables. Building on this result, the formalism is applied to Bhabha scattering mediated by the tensor field AμνA_{\mu\nu}, and the Newtonian gravitational potential is derived in the zero-temperature limit. Finite-temperature effects are incorporated through the Thermo Field Dynamics (TFD) formalism. While the Newtonian interaction is recovered at low temperatures, it becomes progressively suppressed in the high-temperature regime, revealing a thermal screening mechanism. The physical origin of this behavior and its possible dependence on the underlying scattering process are briefly discussed.
