Abstract
We study N = 2 supersymmetric Born-Infeld-Higgs theory in three dimens ions and derive Bogomol'nyi relations in its bosonic sector. A peculia r coupling between the Higgs and the gauge field (with dynamics determ ined by the Born-Infeld action) is forced by supersymmetry. The result ing equations coincide with those arising in the Maxwell-Higgs model. Concerning Bogomol'nyi bounds for the vortex energy, they are derived from the N = 2 supersymmetry algebra.
