Classical solutions play an important role in quantum field theory,
high energy physics and cosmology. Real-time soliton solutions give
rise to particles, such as magnetic monopoles, and extended
structures, such as domain walls and cosmic strings, that have
implications for early universe cosmology. Imaginary-time Euclidean
instantons are responsible for important nonperturbative effects,
while Euclidean bounce solutions govern transitions between
metastable states. Written for advanced graduate students and
researchers in elementary particle physics, cosmology and related
fields, this book brings the reader up to the level of current
research in the field. The first half of the book discusses the
most important classes of solitons: kinks, vortices and magnetic
monopoles. The cosmological and observational constraints on these
are covered, as are more formal aspects, including BPS solitons and
their connection with supersymmetry. The second half is devoted to
Euclidean solutions, with particular emphasis on Yang Mills
instantons and on bounce solutions."
