Abstract

A class of stationary, rigidly rotating perfect fluids coupled with nonlinear electromagnetic fields was investigated. An exact solution of the Einstein equations with sources for the Carter B( + ) branch was found for the equation of state 3p + ε = const. We use a structure function for the Born-Infeld nonlinear electrodynamics which is invariant under duality rotations and a metric possessing a four-parameter group of motions. The solution is of Petrov type D and the eigenvectors of the electromagnetic field are aligned to the Debever-Penrose vectors.
