Cambridge, United Kingdom : Cambridge University Press, 2007. 1 online resource (176 pages) text txt rdacontent computer c rdamedia online resource cr rdacarrier Description based on publisher supplied metadata and other sources. 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, first published in 2006, 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 volume concludes with an explicit description of a few laboratory systems containing solitons. This text will be of interest to both graduate students and academic researchers in theoretical physics, particle physics, cosmology and condensed matter physics. This book has been reissued as an Open Access publication. Preface; 1. Classical kinks; 2. Kinks in more complicated models; 3. Interactions; 4. Kinks in quantum field theory; 5. Condensates and zero modes on kinks; 6. Formation of kinks; 7. Dynamics of domain walls; 8. Gravity and cosmology of domain walls; 9. Kinks in the lab; Appendix A. Units, numbers and conventions; Appendix B. SU(N) generators; Appendix C. Solution to a common differential equation; Appendix D. Useful operator identities; Appendix E. Variation of the determinant; Appendix F. Summary of cosmological equations; Reference; Index. Nuclear physics. 1-009-29042-8 |
