Abstract
A non-Abelian Born-Infeld theory is presented. The square root structure that characterizes the Dirac-Born-Infeld (DBI) action does not appear. The procedure is based on an Abelian theory proposed by Erwin Schr\"{o}dinger that, as he showed, is equivalent to Born-Infeld theory. We briefly mention other possible similar proposals. Our results could be of interest in connection with string theory and possible extensions of well known physical results in the usual Born-Infeld Abelian case.
