We show that the equation of motion from the Dirac-Born-Infeld effective action of a general scalar field with some specific potentials admits exact solutions after appropriate field redefinitions. Based on the exact solutions and their energy-momentum tensors, we find that massive scalars and massless scalars of oscillating modes in the DBI effective theory are not pressureless generically for any possible momenta, which implies that the pressureless tachyon matter forming at late time of the tachyon condensation process should not really be some massive matter. It is more likely that the tachyon field at late time behaves as a massless scalar of zero modes. At kinks, the tachyon can be viewed as a massless scalar of a translational zero mode describing a stable and static D-brane with one dimension lower. Near the vacuum, the tachyon in regions without the caustic singularities can be viewed as a massless scalar that has the same zero mode solution as a fundamental string moving with a critical velocity. We find supporting evidences to this conclusion by considering a DBI theory with modified tachyon potential, in which the development of caustics near the vacuum may be avoided.

We study standing-wave solutions of Born-Infeld electrodynamics, with nonzero electromagnetic field in a region between two parallel conducting plates. We consider the simplest case which occurs when the vector potential describing the electromagneti c field has only one nonzero component depending on time and on the coordinate perpendicular to the plates. The problem then reduces to solving the scalar Born-Infeld equation, a nonlinear partial differential equation in 1+1 dimensions. We apply two alternative methods to obtain standing-wave solutions to the Born-Infeld equation: an iterative method, and a ``minimal surface method. We also study standing wave solutions in a uniform constant magnetic field background.

We consider the classical equations of the Born-Infeld-Abelian-Higgs model (with and without coupling to gravity) in an axially symmetric ansatz. A numerical analysis of the equations reveals that the (gravitating) Nielsen-Olesen vortices are smoothl y deformed by the Born-Infeld interaction, characterized by a coupling constant $beta^2$, and that these solutions cease to exist at a critical value of $beta^2$. When the critical value is approached, the length of the magnetic field on the symmetry axis becomes infinite.
We numerically investigate the evolution of the holographic subregion complexity during a quench process in Einstein-Born-Infeld theory. Based on the subregion CV conjecture, we argue that the subregion complexity can be treated as a probe to explore the interior of the black hole. The effects of the nonlinear parameter and the charge on the evolution of the holographic subregion complexity are also investigated. When the charge is sufficiently large, it not only changes the evolution pattern of the subregion complexity, but also washes out the second stage featured by linear growth.
We investigate the formation of caustics in Dirac-Born-Infeld type scalar field systems for generic classes of potentials, viz., massive rolling scalar with potential, $V(phi)=V_0e^{pm frac{1}{2} M^2 phi^2}$ and inverse power-law potentials with $V(p hi)=V_0/phi^n,~0<n<2$. We find that in the case oftexttt{} exponentially decreasing rolling massive scalar field potential, there are multi-valued regions and regions of likely to be caustics in the field configuration. However there are no caustics in the case of exponentially increasing potential. We show that the formation of caustics is inevitable for the inverse power-law potentials under consideration in Minkowski space time whereas caustics do not form in this case in the FRW universe.

The Hawking-Moss tunneling rate for a field described by the Dirac-Born-Infeld action is calculated using a stochastic approach. We find that the effect of the non-trivial kinetic term is to enhance the tunneling rate, which can be exponentially sign ificant. This result should be compared to the DBI enhancement found in the Coleman-de Luccia case.
