Abstract
We propose a new class of apparently renormalizable heavy-vector-boson theories. These models are spontaneously broken gauge theories, modifed by the addition of arbitrary mass terms for vectors associated with invariant Abelian subgroups. The vacuum is not invariant under these subgroups. Such theories are probably renormalizable since their multiparticle -matrix elements are unitarily bounded in the tree approximation. As illustrations, the Higgs [U(1)] and Weinberg gauge theories are modified in this way.
