Born-Infeld corrections to Coulombian interactions.
Two-dimensional Born-Infeld electrostatic fields behaving as the superposition of two pointlike charges in the linearized (Maxwellian) limit are investigated by means of a nonholomorphic mapping of the complex plane. The changes in the Coulombian interaction between two charges in Born-Infeld theory are computed. Remarkably, the force between equal charges goes to zero as they approach each other.
