= Proca propagator
{c}

For metric signature $(+---)$, the momentum-space Feynman propagator of a Proca field is
$$
\widetilde\Delta_{\mu\nu}(p)=\frac{-i}{p^2-m^2+i\epsilon}\left(\eta_{\mu\nu}-\frac{p_\mu p_\nu}{m^2}\right).
$$
The longitudinal numerator term inverts the massive vector kinetic operator without gauge fixing.
