Kinks and domain walls are the simplest kind of solitons and are
invaluable for testing various ideas and for learning about
non-perturbative aspects of field theories. They are the subject of
research in essentially every branch of physics, ranging from
condensed matter to cosmology. This book is an introduction to
kinks and domain walls and their principal classical and quantum
properties. The book examines classical solitons, building from
examples in elementary systems to more complicated settings. The
formation of solitons in phase transitions, their dynamics, and
their cosmological consequences are further discussed. The book
closes with an explicit description of a few laboratory systems
containing solitons. Kinks and Domain Walls includes several
state-of-the-art results, some previously unpublished. Each chapter
closes with open questions and research problems. This book will be
of great interest to both graduate students and academic
researchers in theoretical physics, particle physics, cosmology and
condensed matter physics.
