The Sixth Annual Conference of the Center for Nonlinear Studies at
the Los Alamos National Laboratory was held May 5-9, 1986, on the
topic "Nonlinearity in Condensed Matter: Lessons from the Past and
Prospects for the Future. " As conference organizers, we felt that
the study of non linear phenomena in condensed matter had matured
to the point where it made sense to take stock of the numerous
lessons to be learned from a variety of contexts where nonlinearity
plays a fundamental role and to evaluate the prospects for the
growth of this general discipline. The successful 1978 Oxford
Symposium on nonlinear (soliton) struc ture and dynamics in
condensed matter (Springer Ser. Solid-State Sci., Vol. 8) was held
at a time when the ubiquity of solitons was just begin ning to be
appreciated by the condensed matter community; in subsequent years
the soliton paradigm has provided a rather useful framework for in
vestigating a large number of phenomena, particularly in
low-dimensional systems. Nevertheless, we felt that the importance
of nonlinearity in wider arenas than "solitonics" merited a
significant expansion in the scope of the conference over that of
the 1978 symposium. Indeed, many of the lessons are quite general
and their potential for cross-fertilization of otherwise poorly
connected disciplines was certainly one of the prime motivations
for this conference. Thus, while these proceedings contain many
contribu tions pertaining to soliton behavior in different
contexts, the reader will find much more as well, particularly in
the later chapters."
