Gravitation as a vacuum nonlinear electrodynamics effect

TL;DR

This paper explores a unified theory where gravitation emerges from vacuum nonlinear electrodynamics, specifically using the Born-Infeld model, with gravity arising as a second-order effect related to electromagnetic energy-momentum.

Contribution

It proposes a novel approach where gravity is derived from vacuum nonlinear electrodynamics, unifying electromagnetism and gravitation within a single framework.

Findings

Electromagnetic interaction appears at first order in perturbation.

Gravitational interaction emerges naturally at second order.

Effective metric components incorporate electromagnetic energy-momentum tensor.

Abstract

Effective Riemann space effect of vacuum nonlinear electrodynamics is considered in the context of theory for unified gravitation and electromagnetism. The electromagnetic four-vector potential in the scope of Born-Infeld nonlinear electrodynamics model is considered as the unified field. The electromagnetic interaction appears naturally in the first perturbation order by the small field of distant material objects. The gravitational interaction appears naturally in the appropriate second order. In this case the effective metric components contain the corresponding energy-momentum tensor components for quick-oscillating electromagnetic field of the distant objects.
