With scalar charges e and 2e, both ψ and ϕ2 transform with phase e2iα. Therefore M2∣ψ−bϕ2∣2 is a gauge-invariant potential term. It contains a nonzero direct cubic interaction −M2(bψ∗ϕ2+h.c.). Adding positive quadratic and quartic modulus terms gives a real bounded-below potential. All expanded interactions have field degree at most four.
