We make a systematic search of all the possible field theories in n-dimensional Minkowski space with an Abelian gauge invariance and bosonic gauge fields. They include the usual cases of Maxwell theory and spontaneously broken gauge theories but also less known cases such as a conserved current-current interaction and a massive Abelian vector boson coupled to a conserved current, as well as a description of any symmetry breaking as coming from a spontaneous breakdown. Special cases in one, two, or three space-time dimensions are also considered.
