implications for the cosmology of the early universe. Imaginary time Euclidean
instantom
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
ph and related fields, this book brings the reader up to the level of
current re in the field. The first half of the book discusses the most important
classes of
sothöns:
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
Euclid tattoos, with particular emphasis on Yang-Mills
instantons
and on bounce
solutions.
