abstract

We resurrect Eddington's proposal for the gravitational action in the presence of a cosmological constant and extend it to include matter fields. We show that the Newton-Poisson equation is modified in the presence of sources and that charged black holes show great similarities with those arising in Born-Infeld electrodynamics coupled to gravity. When we consider homogeneous and isotropic space-times we find that there is a minimum length (and maximum density) at early times, clearly pointing to an alternative theory of the Big Bang. We thus argue that the modern formulation of Eddington's theory, Born-Infeld gravity, presents us with a novel, non-singular description of the Universe.

Born-Infeld Electrogravity and Dyonic Black Holes

gr-qc · 2025-11-07 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Born-Infeld electrogravity yields a fundamental extremal dyonic black hole in the small-charge limit whose mass and horizon area depend only on the Born-Infeld constant, Newton’s constant, and the speed of light.

Modified Gravity and Cosmology

astro-ph.CO · 2011-06-13 · unverdicted · novelty 2.0

A comprehensive review of modified gravity theories and their cosmological consequences, including a parameterized post-Friedmannian formalism for constraining deviations from General Relativity.
