Born-Infeld Kinematics and Correction to the Thomas Precession
arXiv:hep-th/0207047 · doi:10.1016/S0370-2693(02)02132-9
Abstract
Dynamical symmetries of Born-Infeld theory associated with its maximal field strength are encoded in a geometry on the tangent bundle of spacetime manifolds. The resulting extension of general relativity respecting a finite upper bound on accelerations is put to use in the discussion of particle dynamics, first quantization, and the derivation of a correction to the Thomas precession.
