  > s.a. clifford algebra; modified electromagnetism.
  * Idea: A non-linear form of
    electrodynamics; It predicts a maximum value for the electric field, preventing
    the occurrence of classical singularities; The Lagrangian density is
\(\cal L\)BI = β 2 [det(δμν + β−2 F μν)]1/2 ,
    where β plays the role of the maximum value of the electric field;
    This is currently the most widely known type of non-linear electrodynamics.

Phenomenology
  > s.a. BIon; dark energy;
  cosmological models in general relativity;
  FLRW quantum cosmology; lensing.
  * Cosmology: In
    theories with \(\cal L\)em =
    −\(1\over4\)F2
    + α F4,
    without electric field, the F4
    term produces a bounce that avoids the initial singularity.
