This NATO Advanced Study Institute, held in Geilo between March
29th and April 9th 1981, was the sixth in a series devoted to the
subject of phase transitions and instabilities. The present
institute was intended to provide a forum for discussion of the
importance of nonlinear phenomena associated with instabilities in
systems as seemingly disparate as ferroelectrics and rotating
buckets of oil. Ten years ago, at the first Geilo school, the
report of a central peak in the fluctuation spectrum of SrTi0 close
to its 3 106 K structural phase transition demonstrated that the
simple soft-mode theory of such transitions was incomplete. The
missing ingredient was the essential nonlinearity of the system.
Parti cipants at this year's Geilo school heard assessments of a
decade of experimental and theoretical effort which has been
expended to elucidate the nature of this nonlinearity. The
importance of order ed clusters and the walls which bound them was
stressed in this con text. A specific type of wall, the soliton,
was discussed by a number of speakers. New experimental results
which purport to demonstrate the existence of solitons in a
one-dimensional ferromagnet were presented. A detailed discussion
was given of the role of solitons in transport phenomena in driven
multistable systems, typified by a sine-Gordon chain."
