Abstract
After discussing in two previous papers [1, 2] the classical electrodynamics which corresponds to the quantum electrodynamics with two sorts of photons (photons with zero rest mass and nonvanishing rest mass), in the present paper the general field theory of a vector field A^v^ with two sorts if field quanta is given. It is shown that the postulate of the “unity of the four‐current” determining the physical contents of this theory makes it possible to regard it as a classical ansatz of a unified theory of the electromagnetic and the weak interactions.
From the “unity of the currents” results that the electrons are δ‐like point‐particles with a finite self‐potential and finite field masses M = ε^2^/2 kc^−2^. The COMPTON wave‐length of the heavy photons k^−1^ = h/mc has the meaning of an “elementary length” for the electromagnetic interactions and the rest mass m = khc^−1^ of these bosons is of the order of a baryon mass.
