Causal self-dual nonlinear electrodynamics from the Born-Infeld theory

Jonah Ruhl, Sergei M. Kuzenko

An auxiliary scalar field converts the Born-Infeld Lagrangian into a family of causal self-dual nonlinear electrodynamics theories.

The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

in this paper we demonstrate that the resulting models for self-dual NLED are causal and provide a general solution of the self-duality equation.

C2weakest assumption

That the auxiliary-field equation of motion can be solved for any suitable potential W(ψ) without introducing acausal modes or violating the self-duality condition when the seed is the Born-Infeld Lagrangian.

C3one line summary

Auxiliary-field construction from Born-Infeld seed yields causal self-dual nonlinear electrodynamics that generally solve the self-duality equations.
