The covariant description of spinning fluids in non-linear electrodynamics — •Benjamin Regler, Horst-Heino von Borzeszkowski, and Thoralf Chrobok — Technische Universität Berlin, Berlin, Germany

Spinning fluids are continuous media with intrinsic spin. In this work these fluids are coupled to the most widely known type of non-linear electrodynamics, the Born-Infeld theory.

With particular reference to the charged spinning Weyssenhoff fluid, the equations of motion in curved spacetime are studied and a generalized Lorentz force is derived. Moreover, an interpretation of each term is given and the features of such a charged spinning Born-Infeld Weyssenhoff fluid are highlighted.
