We modify the matter sector of the theory by adding to the usual Maxwell term a nonlinear electromagnetic extension which is known to implement a confinement mechanism in flat space. One feature of the resulting theory is that the nonlinear electric field leads to a dynamically generated cosmological constant. We show that with this matter source the solutions of the model are asymptotically de Sitter and possess a wormhole topology. We discuss in some detail the conditions that guarantee the absence of singularities and of traversable wormholes.", optnote="WOS:000327907000045", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=1680), last updated on Thu, 23 Jan 2014 11:54:33 +0000", issn="0370-2693", doi="10.1016/j.physletb.2013.09.039", opturl="http://arxiv.org/abs/1306.6769", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1016/j.physletb.2013.09.039", archivePrefix="arXiv", eprint="1306.6769", language="English" }
