We discuss Bogomolnyi equations for general gauge theories (depending on the two Maxwell invariants $F^{mu u} F_{mu u}$ and $tilde F^{mu u} F_{mu u}$) coupled to Higgs scalars. By analysing their supersymmetric extension, we explicitly show why the resulting BPS structure is insensitive to the particular form of the gauge Lagrangian: Maxwell, Born-Infeld or more complicated non-polynomial Lagrangians all satisfy the same Bogomolnyi equations and bounds which are dictated by the underlying supersymmetry algebra.

The requirement of the existence of a holographic c-function for higher derivative theories is a very restrictive one and hence most theories do not possess this property. Here, we show that, when some of the parameters are fixed, the $Dgeq3$ Born-Infeld gravity theories admit a holographic c-function. We work out the details of the $D=3$ theory with no free parameters, which is a non-minimal Born-Infeld type extension of new massive gravity. Moreover, we show that these theories generate an infinite number of higher derivative models admitting a c-function in a suitable expansion and therefore they can be studied at any truncated order.
We analyze the exact perturbative solution of N=2 Born-Infeld theory which is believed to be defined by Ketovs equation. This equation can be considered as a truncation of an infinite system of coupled differential equations defining Born-Infeld action with one manifest N=2 and one hidden N=2 supersymmetries. We explicitly demonstrate that infinitely many new structures appear in the higher orders of the perturbative solution to Ketovs equation. Thus, the full solution cannot be represented as a function depending on {it a finite number} of its arguments. We propose a mechanism for generating the new structures in the solution and show how it works up to 18-th order. Finally, we discuss two new superfield actions containing an infinite number of terms and sharing some common features with N=2 supersymmetric Born-Infeld action.
We study the Dirac-Born-Infeld (DBI) action with one linear and one non-linear supersymmetry in the presence of a constant Fayet-Iliopoulos (FI) D-term added explicitly or through a deformation of supersymmetry transformations. The linear supersymmetry appears to be spontaneously broken since the D auxiliary field gets a non-vanishing vacuum expectation value and an extra term proportional to the FI parameter involving fermions emerges in the non-linear formulation of the action written recently. However in this note, we show that on-shell this action is equivalent to a standard supersymmetric DBI action ${it without}$ FI term but with redefined tension, at least up to order of mass-dimension 12 effective interactions.
We present new models of non-linear electromagnetism which satisfy the Noether-Gaillard-Zumino current conservation and are, therefore, self-dual. The new models differ from the Born-Infeld-type models in that they deform the Maxwell theory starting with terms like $lambda (partial F)^{4}$. We provide a recursive algorithm to find all higher order terms in the action of the form $lambda^{n} partial ^{4n} F^{2n+2} $, which are necessary for the U(1) duality current conservation. We use one of these models to find a self-dual completion of the $lambda (partial F)^{4}$ correction to the open string action. We discuss the implication of these findings for the issue of UV finiteness of ${cal N}=8$ supergravity.
We derive new types of $U(1)^n$ Born-Infeld actions based on N=2 special geometry in four dimensions. As in the single vector multiplet (n=1) case, the non--linear actions originate, in a particular limit, from quadratic expressions in the Maxwell fields. The dynamics is encoded in a set of coefficients $d_{ABC}$ related to the third derivative of the holomorphic prepotential and in an SU(2) triplet of N=2 Fayet-Iliopoulos charges, which must be suitably chosen to preserve a residual N=1 supersymmetry.
