Light Beams Distortion in Nonlinear Electrodynamics

Abstract

We obtain the characteristic equation for the nonlinear Born-Infeld electrodynamics. This equation has the form of the characteristic equation for the linear electrodynamics in some effective Riemann space. The effective metric include the energy-momentum tensor components of electromagnetic field. We study a distortion of light beams by the action of some distant solitons. This distortion corresponds to attraction with the solitons and looks like the gravitational distortion.
