Black holes and gravitational waves sourced by non-linear duality rotation-invariant conformal electromagnetic matter
Maxwell's equations are invariant under both duality rotations and conformal transformations. Recently Bandos, Lechner, Sorokin, and Townsend have found a nonlinear generalisation of electrodynamics which possesses both of these symmetries. We couple this theory to General Relativity and explor...
