Bogomol'nyi Equations for Vortices in Born-Infeld-Higgs Systems

Abstract

We study vortex solutions in the Born-Infeld theory coupled with a complex scalar field. We show that for a specific form of the "Higgs" potential the vortex satisfies a set of Bogomol'nyi-type equations. Another model, with nonlinear interaction between gauge and Higgs fields, is also considered. We show how it is derived from a supersymmetric extension of the Born-Infeld theory with a minimally coupled complex scalar field.
