abstract

Born-Infeld (BI) electrodynamics is motivated by the infinite self-energy of the point charge in Maxwell electrodynamics. In BI electrodynamics, an upper bound $b$ is imposed on the electric field, thus limiting the self-energy of the point charge. This is a review paper in which we motivate the BI Lagrangian and from it derive the field equations. We find the stress-energy tensor in BI. We calculate the potential due to the point charge in BI. We find order $b^{-2}$ wave solutions to BI in $1+1$ dimensions. We examine BI plane waves normally incident on a mirror.

  1. Mimicking a rotating black hole with nonlinear electrodynamics

    gr-qc 2024-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A null electromagnetic field in nonlinear electrodynamics yields an optical metric that mimics key features of a rotating black hole, including an ergosurface, a horizon, and a slice identical to Kerr.

  2. On global vortices in the higher derivative Lorentz-violating scenario

    hep-th 2025-01 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    In a higher-derivative Lorentz-violating model, neutral global vortices are insensitive to the LIV background because the chosen potential cancels the LIV term, while charged vortices acquire a regularized electric fi...
