Optical black holes and solitons
Shawn Westmoreland
TL;DR
This paper presents an exact solution to the Euler-Heisenberg field equations demonstrating optical black holes and conjectures the existence of soliton solutions with similar black hole geometries.
Contribution
It provides the first exact static solution showing optical black holes and suggests soliton solutions may also contain black hole geometries.
Findings
Exact static solution with optical black holes
Conjecture of soliton solutions containing black holes
Effective geometry exhibits black hole features
Abstract
We exhibit a static, cylindrically symmetric, exact solution to the Euler-Heisenberg field equations (EHFE) and prove that its effective geometry contains (optical) black holes. It is conjectured that there are also soliton solutions to the EHFE which contain black hole geometries.
