Abstract

We develop a rigid N=(1,1)\mathscr{N} =(1,1) superspace framework for spatially inhomogeneous impurity deformations in D=1+1D=1+1 dimensions by embedding the impurity profile into a real background superfield (spurion). This spurionic completion provides a manifestly supersymmetric description at the level of the action and offers a systematic route to identify which inhomogeneous backgrounds preserve a nontrivial subset of supercharges. Focusing on static interface-type configurations, we determine the half-BPS condition on the spurion background and the corresponding supersymmetry projector. In the resulting half-BPS sector we derive the associated first-order BPS equation for static bosonic matter configurations and establish an exact Bogomol'nyi completion of the static energy, yielding a sharp bound saturated by BPS solutions. We further comment on how explicit coordinate dependence and derivative-dependent impurity couplings can obstruct the Bogomol'nyi structure, thereby motivating spurionic extensions that retain supersymmetric control over inhomogeneous deformations.
