Following a generic approach that leads to Bogomolny-Prasad-Sommerfield (BPS) soliton solutions by imposing self-duality, we investigate three different types of non-Hermitian field theories. We consider a complex version of a logarithmic…

An important question in the study of N=2 supersymmetric string or field theories is to compute the jump of the BPS spectrum across walls of marginal stability in the space of parameters or vacua. I survey four apparently different answers…

We study BPS domain walls of N=1 supergravity coupled to a chiral multiplet and their Lorentz invariant vacua which can be viewed as critical points of BPS equations and the scalar potential. Supersymmetry further implies that gradient…

Domain-wall solutions in four-dimensional supersymmetric field theories with distinct discrete vacuum states lead to the spontaneous breaking of supersymmetry, either completely or partially. We consider in detail the case when the domain…

We study BPS saturated domain walls in supersymmetric SU(N) Yang-Mills theories in the large N limit. We focus on the Seiberg-Witten regime of ${\cal N}=2$ theory perturbed by a small mass ($m<O(\Lambda/N^4)$) and determine the wall profile…
