We discuss the N=2 supersymmetric extension of the gauged O(3) sigma model in (2+1) dimensions with an abelian Chern-Simons term. It is shown that the self-dual potential and the Bogomolny relations naturally appear as consequences of…
We consider self-duality in a 2+1 dimensional gauge theory containing both the Born-Infeld and the Chern-Simons terms. We introduce a Born-Infeld inspired generalization of the Proca term and show that the corresponding self dual equation…
We study the supersymmetric extensions of the $O(3)$ $\sigma$-model in $1+1$ and $2+1$ dimensions. We show that it is possible to construct non-equivalent supersymmetric versions of a given model sharing the same bosonic sector and free…
We present an Sp(2n,R) duality invariant Born-Infeld U(1)^2n gauge theory with scalar fields. To implement this duality we had to introduce complex gauge fields and as a result the rank of the duality group is only half as large as that of…
We give a brief account of supersymmetric Born-Infeld theories with extended supersymmetry, including those with partially broken supersymmetry. Some latest developments in this area are presented. One of them is N=3 supersymmetric…
We discuss Bogomol'nyi equations for general gauge theories (depending on the two Maxwell invariants $F^{\mu \nu} F_{\mu \nu}$ and $\tilde F^{\mu \nu} F_{\mu \nu}$) coupled to Higgs scalars. By analysing their supersymmetric extension, we…
We give model-independent arguments, valid in nearly any number of spacetime dimensions, that topological solitons and instantons satisfy Bogomol'nyi-type bounds and, when these bounds are saturated, satisfy self-duality equations. In the…
We take advantage of the superspace formalism and explicitly find the N=2 supersymmetric extension of the Maxwell Chern-Simons model. In our construction a special form of a potential term and indispensability of an additional neutral…
In this article, we present a fermionic extension of the scalar Born-Infeld equation, which has been derived from the Nambu-Goto superstring action in (2+1) dimensions through the Cartesian parameterization. It is demonstrated that in the…
We introduce the self-dual abelian gauged $O(3)$ sigma models where the Maxwell and Chern-Simons terms constitute the kinetic terms for the gauge field. These models have quite rich structures and various limits. Our models are found to…
The Born-Infeld theory of a toroidal D3-brane has an SL(5,Z) U-duality symmetry. We investigate how this symmetry is reflected in the supersymmetry algebra. We propose an action of the group on the gauge theory fields in the BPS sector by…
We study the supersymmetric extension of the Faddeev model in four dimensions. The Faddeev model contains three dimensional soliton solutions and we are interested in how these solitons are affected by supersymmetry. We consider both the…
We review self-duality of nonlinear electrodynamics and its extension to several Abelian gauge fields coupled to scalars. We then describe self-duality in supersymmetric models, both N = 1 and N = 2. The self-duality equations, which have…
The non-linear $\Sigma$-Model minimally coupled with Maxwell theory in $3+1$ dimensions possesses a topologically non-trivial sector characterized by ``lasagna''-like configurations. We demonstrate that, when a specific quantization…
An intriguing connection, based on duality symmetry, between ordinary (commutative) Born-Infeld type theory and non-commutative Maxwell type theory, is pointed out. Both discrete as well as continuous duality transformations are considered…
A range of bosonic models can be expressed as (sometimes generalized) $\sigma$-models, with equations of motion coming from a selfduality constraint. We show that in D=2, this is easily extended to supersymmetric cases, in a superspace…
We elaborate on how to build, in a systematic fashion, two-field Abelian extensions of the Born-Infeld Lagrangian. These models realize the non-trivial duality groups that are allowed in this case, namely U(2), SU(2) and U(1)xU(1). For each…
It is shown that a gauged nonlinear $O(3)$ sigma model with anomalous magnetic moment interaction in $2+1$ dimensions is exactly integrable for static, self-dual field configurations. The matter fields are exactly equivalent to those of the…
Focusing on gauge degrees of freedom specified by a 1+3 dimensions model hosting a Maxwell term plus a Lorentz and CPT non-invariant Chern-Simons-like contribution, we obtain a minimal extension of such a system to a supersymmetric…
Born-Infeld theory is the non-linear generalization of Maxwell electrodynamics. It naturally arises as the low-energy effective action of open strings, and it is also part of the world-volume effective action of D-branes. The N=1 and N=2…
