Extended Self-Dual Configurations as Stable Exact Solutions in Born-Infeld Theory
arXiv:hep-th/0007066 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.64.106003
Abstract
A class of exact solutions to the Born-Infeld field equations, over manifolds of any even dimension, is constructed. They are an extension of the self-dual configurations. They are local minima of the action for riemannian base manifolds and local minima of the Hamiltonian for pseudo-riemannian ones. A general explicit expression for the Born-Infeld determinant is obtained, for any dimension of space-time.
