What is Eigenvalues of the static, spherically-symmetric Einstein-Proca equations about?

The Proca potential has been used in many contexts in flat spacetime, but not so often in curved spacetime. Here, the static Proca potentials are derived on a Schwarzschild background, and are found to have very different forms from those in flat space. In addition, the coupling of the two fields leads to a quantum condition on the particle mass, which is found to be quantized and inversely proportional to the range parameter, $\mu$. This suggests that gravity may induce quantization in other physical fields.
