Abstract

The role of the gauge invariance is analysed. Such an invariance guarantees that the given vector field (of electromagnetic or Yang-Mills kind) describes spin 1 only. Contrary to the statement of many authors (1–13) it is shown that the requirement of the gauge invariance cannot be a principle for obtaining nontrivial interactions and for deducing the existence of any vector field.
