Abstract

We analyze the development of the concept of natural geometry for the gravitational field in Logunov’s works. We discuss the application of this concept to vacuum nonlinear electrodynamics and show that defining the natural geometry for a nonlinear theory and finding its metric tensor permit obtaining sufficiently complete information about the propagation laws for electromagnetic field pulses in background electromagnetic fields.
