Abstract: We study the implications of using the gradient of a scalar field instead of a standard gauge field at various points: a) in minimal coupling and b) in coupling electromagnetism to a global charge. The implications in a) can be surprising, leading to possible mixing of this gauge field with Goldstone bosons, leading to low mass weakly coupled particles, C and CP violation and in case b) we arrive to a new scalar QED that reproduces features of axion photon physics.
