          Abstract

          The world formulation of the full theory of classical Proca fields in generally relativistic spacetimes is concisely reviewed and the entire set of pertinent field equations is transcribed in a straightforward way into the framework of one of the Infeld-van der Waerden formalisms. Some well-known calculational techniques are then utilized for deriving the wave equations that control the propagation of the fields allowed for. It appears that no interaction couplings between such fields and electromagnetic curvatures are carried by the wave equations at issue. What results is, in effect, that the only interactions which ultimately occur in the theoretical context under consideration involve strictly Proca fields and wave functions for gravitons.

          The paper's shape has been improved. A term was missing from the middle text lines concerning the derivation of the former Equation (46), but it was implemented at the end of the derivation. That missing term amounts to the latter Equation (39)
