Black hole and cosmological space-times in Born-Infeld-Einstein theory
Abstract
In this paper I examine black hole and cosmological space-times in Born-Infeld-Einstein theory with electric and magnetic charges. The field equations are derived and written in the form for spherically symmetric space-times. The energy-momentum tensor is not the Born-Infeld energy-momentum tensor, but can be obtained from Born-Infeld theory by letting , where is the Born-Infeld parameter. It is shown that there is a curvature singularity in spherically symmetric space-times at a nonzero radial coordinate and that, as in Reissner-Nordstrom space-times, there are zero, one or two horizons. Charged black holes have either two horizons and a timelike singularity or one horizon with a spacelike, timelike, or null singularity. Anisotropic cosmological solutions with electric and magnetic fields are obtained from the spherically symmetric solutions.
