Topologically stable BPS and non-BPS states in supersymmetric N=2 baby-Skyrme model

The supersymmetric baby-Skyrme model is an interesting field theoretical model, and its BPS states have been studied using the usual supersymmetric transformation of the fields. Here, we use the BPS Lagrangian method [7], that has been used mainly in non-supersymmetric theories, to rigorously obtain...

description The supersymmetric baby-Skyrme model is an interesting field theoretical model, and its BPS states have been studied using the usual supersymmetric transformation of the fields. Here, we use the BPS Lagrangian method [7], that has been used mainly in non-supersymmetric theories, to rigorously obtain both topologically stable BPS and non-BPS states in the supersymmetric N=2 baby Skyrme model. It is observed that the BPS states found using this method coincide with the BPS states found using the supersymmetric method. However, we are also able to obtain the non-BPS states, which break all of supersymmetry of the theory. Furthermore, there exists a one-parameter family of non-BPS solutions that are connected to the half-BPS solutions, where half of the supersymmetry is restored when the parameter is set to zero. Thus, we expect that this method might be useful for investigating the topologically stable non-BPS states in other supersymmetric theories.
