Born-Infeld theory is the non-linear generalization of Maxwell electrodynamics. It naturally arises as the low-energy effective action of open strings, and it is also part of the world-volume effective action of D-branes. The N=1 and N=2 supersymmetric generalizations of the Born-Infeld action are closely related to partial spontaneous breaking of rigid extended supersymmetry. We review some remarkable features of the Born-Infeld action and outline its supersymmetric generalizations in four dimensions. The non-abelian N=1 supersymmetric extension of the Born-Infeld theory and its N=1 supergravitational avatars are given in superspace.

  1. Bouncing cosmologies from Born-Infeld-type gravity

    gr-qc 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    A new ghost-free Born-Infeld-type f(R, G) gravity is built that admits a large family of bouncing cosmologies with varied asymptotic behaviors.

  2. Vaidya-Type Solutions of Quasitopological Gravity Interacting with Nonlinear Electrodynamics

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Radiating (Vaidya-type) charged black holes in quasitopological gravity are generated from static ones by promoting mass and charge to functions of time, with the required currents and radiation fluxes constructed explicitly.
