Topological Solitons
«'The authors are two of the most prominent in the field and have made many seminal contributions to it.' Contemporary Physics»
Topological solitons occur in many nonlinear classical field theories. They are stable, particle-like objects, with finite mass and a smooth structure. Examples are monopoles and Skyrmions, Ginzburg-Landau vortices and sigma-model lumps, and Yang-Mills instantons. Les mer

«'The authors are two of the most prominent in the field and have made many seminal contributions to it.' Contemporary Physics»
«'The book is self-contained and beautifully written. It should remain for a long period of time as a standard reference for anyone interested in solition theory and its application in physics.' Zentralblatt MATH»
«'… a unique, up-to-date and authoritative resource for anyone who wants to learn about the latest developments in the field of topological solitons. Moreover, by clearly exhibiting the essential idea of any topic they discuss, the authors have succeeded in writing a book which should teach mathematicians much about physics and physicists much about mathematics. The book is accessible to graduate students in theoretical physics and mathematics and despite the absence of exercises, could be used a s a textbook for an advanced lecture course.'
