Abstract
Using the technique of finite field dependent BRST transformations we show that the classical massive Yang–Mills theory and the pure Yang–Mills theory whose gauge symmetry is broken by a gauge fixing term are identical from the view point of quantum gauge symmetry. The explicit infinitesimal transformations which leave the massive Yang–Mills theory BRST invariant are given.
