On the dynamics of topological solitons [PDF]
This thesis investigates the dynamics of lump-like objects in non-integrable field theories, whose stability is due to topological considerations. The work concerns three different low dimensional ((1 + 1)- and (2 + l)-dimensional) systems and addresses ...

Generalized virial identities: radial constraints for solitons, instantons, and bounces
We derive a continuous family of virial identities for O(n) symmetric configurations, parameterized by an exponent α that controls the radial weighting.

On extended structures in affine Toda field theory [PDF]
Two areas of affine Toda field theory are explored in this thesis. First the introduction of a boundary into the real coupling affine Toda field theory.

The twistor description of integrable systems [PDF]
The theory of twistors and the theory of integrable models have, for many years, developed independently of each other. However, in recent years it has been shown that there is considerable overlap between these two apparently disparate areas of ...

In this paper the domain wall solutions of a Ginzburg-Landau non-linear S 2 $$ {\mathbb{S}}^2 $$ -sigma hybrid model are exactly calculated. There exist two types of basic domain walls and two families of composite domain walls. The domain wall solutions

Quantization of Skyrmions [PDF]
The Skyrme model is a nonlinear classical field theory which models the strong interaction between atomic nuclei. In order to compare the predictions of the Skyrme model with nuclear physics, it has to be quantized. We show, summarizing earlier work, how

Instanton liquid properties from lattice QCD
We examined the instanton contribution to the QCD configurations generated from lattice QCD for N F = 0, N F = 2 + 1 and N F = 2 + 1 + 1 dynamical quark flavors from two different and complementary approaches.

Constrained instantons in scalar field theories
Instantons, localised saddle points of the action, play an important role in describing non-perturbative aspects of quantum field theories, for example vacuum decay or violation of conservation laws associated with anomalous symmetries.

Vibrational modes of massive Skyrmions within the rational map ansatz [PDF]
In this thesis, we study the vibrational modes of some Skyrmion solutions within the rational map approximation. When the Skyrme field is perturbed around a static solution, the radial and angular vibrations of the field are decoupled; this gives us two ...

The JNR ansatz provides a simple formula to obtain families of charge N self-dual SU(2) Yang-Mills instantons in four-dimensional Euclidean space, from the free data of N + 1 distinct points with associated positive weights.
