Solitons in field theory and nonlinear analysis

From MaRDI portal





This book is concerned with the soliton solutions of the elliptic partial differential equations which occur in quantum field theory in connection with vortices, monopoles, dyons, cosmic strings, and various related topics. The book examines these and other matters in detail, and provides a valuable link between the physics of such problems and the associated mathematical analysis. Physically, it touches upon major branches of field theory, including classical mechanics, special relativity, the Maxwell equations, superconductivity, Yang-Mills gauge theory, and general relativity. Its mathematical content is concerned mainly with Riemannian geometry, Lie groups, Lie algebras as well as algebraic topology, and it emphasizes the techniques of modern nonlinear functional analysis which are used in these areas. The intended readership of the book, who will be well served by this excellent account, includes research workers, graduate students, and physicists with interests in high energy and condensed-matter physics.
