Abstract

We consider both massive Euler-Heisenberg-like and Euler-Heisenberg-like Electrodynamics in the approximation of the strong-field limit. Our analysis shows that massive Euler-Heisenberg-type Electrodynamics displays the vacuum birefringence phenomenon. Afterwards, we calculate the lowest-order modifications to the interaction energy for both classes of Electrodynamics, within the framework of the gauge-invariant path-dependent variables formalism. Interestingly enough, for massive Euler-Heisenbeg-like electrodynamics (Whichmann-Kroll) we obtain a new long-range (1/r31/r^3- type) correction, apart from a long-range (1/r51/r^5- type) correction to the Coulomb potential. However, Euler-Heisenberg-like Electrodynamics in the approximation of the strong-field limit (to the leading logarithmic order), display a long-range (1/r51/r^5- type) correction to the Coulomb potential. Again, for their non-commutative versions, the interaction energy is ultraviolet finite.
