A Topological Bound for Electroweak Vortices from Supersymmetry

High Energy Physics - Theory 2016-09-06 v2

Abstract

We study the connection between N=2 supersymmetry and a topological bound in a two-Higgs-doublet system having an SU(2)×U(1)Y×U(1)YSU(2)\times U(1)_Y\times U(1)_{Y'} gauge group. We derive Bogomol'nyi equations from supersymmetry considerations showing that they hold provided certain conditions on the coupling constants, which are a consequence of the huge symmetry of the theory, are satisfied.
