Abstract

This paper suggests a generalization of the Born--Infeld action (1932) for the case of electroweak and gravitational fields. Basic notions one deals with are Dirac matrices, γa\gamma_{a}, and dimensionless covariant derivatives, πa=ia\pi_{a} = - i\ell \nabla_{a}, given in spinorial and scalar representations. The action contains a characteristic length \ell (which is of order of magnitude of Planck's length), as a parameter and possesses an extra symmetry with respect to transformations of the Lorentz group imposed on pairs (γa\gamma_{a}, πa\pi_{a}). It's shown that parameter of the Lorentz group is associated with a constant value of the electroweak potential at spatial infinity.
