Phys. Rev. D 70, 044042 (2004) [5 pages]Born-Infeld gravity in any dimensionReceived 10 February 2004; published 26 August 2004 We develop a Born-Infeld type theory for gravity in any dimension. We show that in four dimensions our formalism allows a self-dual (or anti-self-dual) Born-Infeld gravity description. Moreover, we show that such a self-dual action is reduced to both the Deser-Gibbons and the Jacobson-Smolin-Samuel action of Ashtekar formulation. A supersymmetric generalization of our approach is outlined. © 2004 The American Physical Society URL:
