Topological defects have recently become of great interest in
condensed matter physics, particle physics and cosmology. They are
the unavoidable remnants of many symmetry breaking phase
transitions. Topological defects can play an important role in
describing the properties of many condensed matter systems (e.g.
superfluids and superconduc tors); they can catalyze many unusual
effects in particle physics models and they may be responsible for
seeding the density perturbations in the early Universe which de
velop into galaxies and the large-scale structure of the Universe.
Topological defects are also of great interest in mathematics as
nontrivial solutions of nonlinear differential equations stabilized
by topological effects. The purpose of the Advanced Study Institute
"Formation and Interactions of Topo logical Defects" was to bring
together students and practitioners in condensed matter physics,
particle physics and cosmology, to give a detailed exposition of
the role of topo logical defects in these fields; to explore
similarities and differences in the approaches; and to provide a
common basis for discussion and future collaborative research on
common problems.
