Supersymmetry and Bogomol’nyi equations in the Abelian Higgs Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
The N = 2 supersymmetric extension of the 2 + 1 dimensional Abelian Higgs model is discussed. By analysing the resulting supercharge algebra, the connection between supersymmetry and Bogomol’nyi equations is clarified. Analogous results are presented when the model is considered in 2-dimensional (Euclidean) space. CONICET Postal address: C.C. 67, (1900) La Plata, Argentina Investigador CICBA, Argentina

Supergravity and a Bogomol’nyi Bound in Three Dimensions
We discuss the 2 + 1 dimensional Abelian Higgs model coupled to N = 2 supergravity. We construct the supercharge algebra and, from it, we show that the mass of classical static solutions is bounded from below by the topological charge. As it happens in the global case, half of the supersymmetry is broken when the bound is attained and Bogomol’nyi equations, resulting from the unbroken supersymm...

We study N = 2 supersymmetric Born-Infeld-Higgs theory in 3 dimensions and derive Bogomol’nyi relations in its bosonic sector. A peculiar coupling between the Higgs and the gauge field (with dynamics determined by the Born-Infeld action) is forced by supersymmetry. The resulting equations coincide with those arising in the MaxwellHiggs model. Concerning Bogomol’nyi bounds for the vortex energy,...
متن کاملExistence of the Semilocal Chern-Simons Vortices
We consider the Bogomol’nyi equations of the Abelian ChernSimons-Higgs model with SU(N)global⊗U(1)local symmetry. This is a generalization of the well-known Abelian Chern-Simons-Higgs model with U(1)local symmetry. We prove existence of both topological and nontopological multivortex solutions of the system on the plane.
متن کاملVortices in Bogomol’nyi Limit of Einstein Maxwell Higgs Theory with or without External Sources
The Abelian Higgs model with or without external particles is considered in curved space. Using the dual transformation, we rewrite the model in terms of dual gauge fields and derive the Bogomol’nyi-type bound. We find all possible cylindrically symmetric vortex solutions and vortex-particle composites by examining the Einstein equations and the firstorder Bogomol’nyi equations. The underlying ...
متن کاملNew vortex solution in SU(3) gauge-Higgs theory
Following a brief review of known vortex solutions in SU(N) gauge-adjoint Higgs theories we show the existence of a new “minimal” vortex solution in SU(3) gauge theory with two adjoint Higgs bosons. At a critical coupling the vortex decouples into two abelian vortices, satisfying Bogomol’nyi type, first order, field equations. The exact value of the vortex energy (per unit length) is found in t...
