Quantization of B-I electrodynamics and B-I modified gravity using
Faddeev-Popov gauge-fixing procedure
   [PDF]

Srivatsan Rajagopal, Ajit Kumar
We investigate the quantized versions of Born Infeld electrodynamics and Born Infeld Gravity. We derive Feynman rules for B-I electrodynamics by deriving an effective Lagrangian with the square root removed using the Faddeev-Popov method. In the case of B-I gravity, the square root in the Lagrangian is removed by the introduction of the Vierbien fields. This approach has the advantage that SO(3,1) can be consistently regarded to be the gauge group of gravity. Finally, using a rough argument, the quantum fluctuations of the radii of spatial hypersurfaces in flat space are shown to undergo accelerated increase with time.
