Abstract

The Stueckelberg model for massive vector fields is cast into a BRS invariant, polynomial form. Its symmetry algebra simplifies to an abelian gauge symmetry which is sufficient to decouple the negative norm states. The propagators fall off like 1/k21/k^2 and the Lagrangean is polynomial but it is not powercounting renormalizable due to derivative couplings.
