Scattering and Thermodynamics of Fractionally-Charged Supersymmetric Solitons

Abstract

We show that there are solitons with fractional fermion number in integrable =2 supersymmetric models. We obtain the soliton S-matrix for the minimal, =2 supersymmetric theory perturbed in the least relevant chiral primary field, the superfield. The perturbed theory has a nice Landau-Ginzburg description with a Chebyshev polynomial superpotential. We show that the S-matrix is a tensor product of an associated ordinary minimal model S-matrix with a supersymmetric part. We calculate the ground-state energy in these theories and in the analogous =1 case and coset models. In all cases, the ultraviolet limit is in agreement with the conformal field theory.
