- Title
NONLINEAR ELECTROMAGNETIC FORCES IN ASTROPHYSICS.
- Authors
LABUNA, LANCE; RAFELSKI, JAN
- Abstract
Electromagnetism becomes a nonlinear theory having (effective) photon--photon interactions due at least to electron--positron fluctuations in the vacuum. We discuss the consequences of the nonlinearity for the force felt by a charge probe particle, and compare the impact of Euler--Kockel QED effective nonlinearity to the possibility of Born--Infeld-type nonlinearity.
