We study N=1 supersymmetric gauge theories coupled with higher derivativechiral models in four dimensions in the off-shell superfield formalism. Wesolve the equation of motion for the auxiliary fields and find two distincton-shell structures of the Lagrangian that we call the canonical andnon-canonical branches characterized by zero and non-zero auxiliary fields,respectively. We classify BPS states of the models in Minkowski and Euclideanspaces. In Minkowski space, we find Abelian and non-Abelian vortices,vortex-lumps (or gauged lumps with fractional lump charges) as 1/2 BPS statesin the canonical branch and higher derivative generalization of vortices andvortex-(BPS)baby Skyrmions (or gauged BPS baby Skyrmions with fractional babySkyrme charges) as 1/4 BPS states in the non-canonical branch. Infour-dimensional Euclidean space, we find Yang-Mills instantons trapped insidea non-Abelian vortex, intersecting vortices, intersecting vortex-(BPS)babySkyrmions as 1/4 BPS states in the canonical branch but no BPS states in thenon-canonical branch other than those in the Minkowski space.
