PT Journal AU Beltran Jimenez, J Delhom, A Olmo, GJ Orazi, E TI Born-Infeld gravity: Constraints from light-by-light scattering and an effective field theory perspective SO Physics Letters B JI Phys. Lett. B PY 2021 BP 136479 EP 6pp VL 820 DI 10.1016/j.physletb.2021.136479 LA English AB By using a novel technique that establishes a correspondence between general relativity and metric-affine theories based on the Ricci tensor, we are able to set stringent constraints on the free parameter of Born-Infeld gravity from the ones recently obtained for Born-Infeld electrodynamics by using light-by light scattering data from ATLAS. We also discuss how these gravity theories plus matter fit within an effective field theory framework. ER
