Born-Infeld Gravity: Constraints from Light-by-Light Scattering and an Effective Field Theory Perspective

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2021-07-14 v1 High Energy Physics - Theory

Abstract

By using a novel technique that establishes a correspondence between general relativity and metric-affine theories based on the Ricci tensor, we are able to set stringent constraints on the free parameter of Born-Infeld gravity from the ones recently obtained for Born-Infeld electrodynamics by using light-by-light scattering data from ATLAS. We also discuss how these gravity theories plus matter fit within an effective field theory framework.
