Nonlinear electrodynamics and the acceleration of the Universe

Year: 2004

Type: article

Abstract: It is shown that the addition of a nonlinear term to the Lagrangian of the electromagnetic field yields a fluid with an asymptotically super-negative equation of state, causing an accelerated expansion of the Universe. Some general properties of nonlinear electromagnetism in cosmology are also discussed.
