Description

"Solitons emerge in various non-linear systems as stable localized configurations behaving in many ways like particles, from non-linear optics and condensed matter to nuclear physics to cosmology and supersymmetric theories"-- Abstract: An introduction to integrable and non-integrable scalar field models, with topological and non-topological soliton solutions. Focusing on both topological and non-topological solitons, this book brings together discussion of solitary waves and construction of soliton solutions and provides a discussion of solitons using simple model examples.  Read more... Content: Sine-Gordon model -- Kinks in the models with polynomial potentials -- Non-topological solitons: Korteweg-de-Vries system -- Op3q non-linear sigma model -- Baby Skyrmions -- Q-balls -- Skyrmions -- Hopfions.
