Nonlinear Electromagnetic Fields As a Source of Universe Acceleration

Abstract

A model of nonlinear electromagnetic fields with a dimensional parameter $\beta$ is proposed. From PVLAS experiment the bound on the parameter $\beta$ was obtained. Electromagnetic fields are coupled with the gravitation field and we show that the universe accelerates due to nonlinear electromagnetic fields. The magnetic universe is considered and the stochastic magnetic field is a background. After inflation the universe decelerates and approaches to the radiation era. The range of the scale factor, when the causality of the model and a classical stability take place, was obtained. The spectral index, the tensor-to-scalar ratio, and the running of the spectral index were estimated which are in approximate agreement with the PLANCK, WMAP, and BICEP2 data.
