Exact BPS domain walls at finite gauge coupling
Abstract
Bogomol'nyi-Prasad-Sommerfield solitons in models with spontaneously broken gauge symmetry have been intensively studied at infinite gauge coupling limit, where the governing equation -- so-called master equation -- is exactly solvable. Except for a handful of special solutions, the standing impression is that analytic results at finite coupling are generally unavailable. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate, using domain walls in Abelian-Higgs models as the simplest example, that exact solitons at finite gauge coupling can be readily obtained if the number of Higgs fields () is large enough. In particular, we present a family of exact solutions, describing domain walls at arbitrary positions in models with at least . We have also found that adding together any pair of solution can produce a new exact solution if the combined tension is below a certain limit.
