| gptkbp:feature |
appear in extended supersymmetry
can be counted using index theorems can be realized as branes in string theory central in non-perturbative physics exist in supersymmetric gauge theories important in Seiberg-Witten theory important in dualities mass equals central charge minimize energy for given topological charge play role in AdS/CFT correspondence preserve fraction of supersymmetry protected from decay solutions to Bogomol'nyi equations solutions to equations of motion stable under quantum corrections used in counting microstates of black holes can be 1/2, 1/4, 1/8 BPS depending on preserved supersymmetry |
