    The document discusses the components of the Maseless A field and asks if there are 4 degrees of freedom for the EM field since there are 4 components, but the answer is no. There are only 2 polarization states because the A0 component has no kinetic term dA0.

    The Maseless A field has 4 components, are there 4 degree of freedom for the EM field? NO!

    There
    are only 2 polarization states.
    The A0 has no kinetic term dA0
