Born--Infeld-type electrodynamics and magnetic black holes

Abstract: We investigate a Born--Infeld-type model of nonlinear electrodynamics, possessing three parameters, coupled with general relativity. As a particular case Born--Infeld electrodynamics is reproduced. There is no singularity of the electric field at the centre of point-like charged particles and self-energy of charges is finite in this model. The magnetized black hole is studied and solutions are obtained. We demonstrate that for some parameters of the model the black hole is regular. We find the asymptotic of the metric and mass functions at $r\rightarrow\infty$ and $r\rightarrow 0$, and corrections to the Reissner--Nordstr\"{o}m solution. Thermodynamics of black holes is investigated. We calculate the Hawking temperature of black holes and show that black holes are not stable and there are phase transitions in the model under consideration.
