We derive this equivalence for equations of motion, paying attention to some subtleties, mainly due to external sources, that are not present in the standard proofs. We also propose the Landau gauge as a simplifying alternative to the usual gauge choices, both for practical calculations and in the equivalence theorem proof.engjournal articlehttp://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.62.023518http://journals.aps.org/open access53Precise formulationWeak interactionsSupergravityPhysicsFermionsFieldGaugeFísica (Física)22 Física
