Abstract
A spin-zero field coupled to itself by a current-current interaction is examined subject to the requirements that the vacuum expectation of the current be nonvanishing. It is found that this theory is equivalent to the ordinary electrodynamics of a spinless particle. In all its broken-symmetry aspects the theory is similar to the Bjorken theory for Fermi particles, although the calculations necessary to arrive at this conclusion are more complex.Keywords
