Abstract: A normal mode analysis for Proca fields in the anti-de Sitter (AdS) spacetime is given. It is found that the equations for the Proca field can be decoupled analytically. This is performed by changing the basis of the vector spherical harmonics (VSH) decomposition. The normal modes and the normal mode frequencies of the Proca equation in the AdS spacetime are then analytically determined. It is also shown that the Maxwell field can be recovered by taking the massless limit of the Proca field with care so that the nonphysical gauge modes are eliminated.
