Abstract
We present the first nonperturbative calculations of the nonrelativistic hydrogen spectrum as predicted by first-quantized nonlinear Maxwell-Born-Infeld electrodynamics with point charges. Judged against empirical data our results significantly restrict the range of viable values of the new electromagnetic constant introduced by Born. We assess Born’s own proposal for the value of .
