Proca equations

(quantum mechanics)
A set of equations, analogous to Maxwell's equations, relating a four-vector potential and a second-rank tensor field describing a particle of spin 1 and nonzero mass.

One important question related to the DKP equation concerns the equivalence between its spin 0 and 1 sectors and the theories based on the second-order KG and Proca equations. The Dirac-like DKP equation is not new and dates back to the 1930s.
Exact Solutions of Scalar Bosons in the Presence of the Aharonov-Bohm and Coulomb Potentials in the Gravitational Field of Topological Defects
This book outlines higher form Proca equations on Einstein manifolds with boundary data along conformal infinity, solving these Laplace-type boundary problems formally by constructing an operator which projects arbitrary forms to solutions.

Further extension to Proca equations in Quaternion Space seems possible too using the same method [7], but it will not be discussed here.
A derivation of Maxwell equations in quaternion space
In this paper, first by using the generalized Klein-Gordon and Proca equations, we investigate the scalar/vector particles tunneling from a BBH and recover the corresponding Bekenstein-Hawking temperatures.
In Section 3, we study the Proca equation to find a massive boson in this geometry.
To calculate the BHR of the tunneling vector particles from the BBH, the Proca equation is used on the BBH geometry.
Then we solve the Proca equation on the background of the BBH,
The Bekenstein-Hawking Corpuscular Cascading from the Back-Reacted Black Hole
It has been known for quite long time that the electrodynamics of Maxwell equations can be extended and generalized further into Proca equations. The implications of introducing Proca equations include an alternative description of superconductivity, via extending London equations.
The background argument of Proca equations can be summarized as follows [6].
In this regards, it has been shown by Sternberg [18], that the classical London equations for superconductors can be written in differential form notation and in relativistic form, where they yield the Proca equations. In particular, the field itself acts as its own charge carrier [18].
Similarly in this regards, in a recent paper Tajmar has shown that superconductor equations can be rewritten in terms of Proca equations [19].
With a nonzero photon mass, the usual Maxwell equations transform into the so-called Proca equations which will form the basis for our assessment in superconductors and are only valid for the superconducting electrons."
