Born–Infeld electrodynamics in very special relativity

In this work we discuss the properties of a modified Born–Infeld electrodynamics in the framework of very special relativity (VSR). This proposal allows us to study VSR mass effects in a gauge-invariant context of nonlinear electrodynamics. It is analyzed in detail the electrostatic solutions for tw...
