Interacting massive spin-1 fields have been widely used in cosmology and particle physics. We obtain a new condition on the validity of the classical limit of these theories related to the non-trivial constraints that exist for vector field components. A violation of this consistency condition causes a singularity in the time derivative of the auxiliary component and could impact, for example, the field's cosmic history and superradiance around black holes. Such a condition is expected to exist generically in many other non-trivially constrained systems.

  1. Potentially healthy time evolution in interacting $p$-form fields

    gr-qc 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    In 4D spacetime, 3-form fields admit healthy time evolution under specific self-interactions while 2-form fields lose hyperbolicity with analogous terms.

  2. Constraining Dark Photon Dark Matter with Radio Silence from Soliton Mergers around Supermassive Black Holes

    hep-ph 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0

    Non-observation of radio bursts from soliton mergers around supermassive black holes constrains dark photon solitons to make up less than about 1% of dark matter, with future surveys reaching 0.2%.
