Supersymmetric Dirac-Born-Infeld theory in noncommutative space

We present a supersymmetric version of Dirac-Born-Infeld (DBI) theory in noncommutative space-time, both for Abelian and non-Abelian gauge groups. We show, using the superfield formalism, that the definition of a certain ordering with respect to the * product leads naturally to a DBI action both in the U(1) as well as in the U(N) case. BPS equations are analysed in this context and properties of the resulting theory are discussed.

Monopoles, Dyons and Theta Term in Dirac-Born-Infeld Theory

We present dyon solutions to an SU(2) Dirac-Born-Infeld (DBI) gauge theory coupled to a Higgs triplet. We consider different non-Abelian extensions of the DBI action and study the resulting solutions numerically, comparing them with the standard Julia-Zee dyons. We discuss the existence of a critical value of $β$, the Born-Infeld absolute field parameter, below which the solution ceases to exist. We also analyse the effect of modifying the DBI action so as to include the analogous of the $θ$ term, showing that Witten formula for the dyon charge also holds in DBI theories.
