A classification of the effective metric in nonlinear electrodynamics
read the original abstract
We show that only two types of effective metrics are possible in certain nonlinear electromagnetic theories. This is achieved by using the dependence of the effective metric on the energy-momentum tensor of the background along with the Segr\`e classification of the latter. Each of these forms is completely determined by single scalar function, which characterizes the light cone of the nonlinear theory. We compare this light cone with that of Minkowski in two examples.

Properties of black holes in non-linear electrodynamics
Nonlinear electrodynamics black holes with non-monotonic lapse functions admit stable light rings and trapped near-horizon photon orbits that generate additional longer-lived quasinormal mode branches.
