We analyze a model of nonrelativistic matter in (2 + 1)-dimensional noncommutative space. The matter fields interact with gauge fields whose dynamics is dictated by a Chern-Simons term. We show that it is possible to choose the coupling constants in such a way that the model has and extended supersymmetry and Bogomolnyi equations can be found. 2005 Elsevier B.V.

For the particular case of (2 + 1)-dimensional space, it has also been argued that Chern-Simons theories in NC space can be used as an effective description of the physics of the quantum Hall effect [2,3].Motivated by these facts, the extension to NC space of the Jackiw and Pi model (JP) [4] of nonrelativistic matter interacting with gauge fields whose dynamics is governed by Chern-Simons fields was first considered in [5].In ordinary space, this model, which is related to the physics of the Aharonov-Bohm problem, provides a nontrivial example of a gauge theory invariant under the action of the Galilean group [6]. Indeed, the space-time invariance group is larger as the theory is also invariant under dilations and conformal transformations, at least at the classical level. As it is the case for many gauge theories, the scale invariance of the action is broken by quantum corrections. Interestingly, the invariance is recovered for a particular relation of coupling constants [7].
