The considered spin-dependent potentials between fermions or spin-polarised macroscopic objects result from an exchange of exotic spin-0 or spin-1 bosons. We address a superficial singularity in one of the potentials, as well as technical issues with contact terms, and use the results to obtain a bound on the pseudovector coupling constants and boson masses.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-11-13T21:22:40.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "spin-dependent potentials", "contact terms", "spurious singularity", "spin-polarised macroscopic objects result", "pseudovector coupling constants" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 4, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
