Real-time soliton solutions give rise to particles, such as magnetic monopoles, and extended structures, such as domain walls and cosmic strings, that have implications for the cosmology of the early universe. Imaginarytime Euclidean instantons 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 physics, cosmology, and related fields, this book brings the reader up to the level of current research in the field"--cProvided by publisher 0aQuantum theoryxMathematics 00104070a20000b20000d2019-09-04g297.54l0oQC174.17.M35 W45 2012p0000069174r2019-09-04 00:00:00t1v297.54w2019-09-04yOPEN aVIRTUA40c62878d62884 aVTLSSORT0080*0200*0201*0400*0900*1000*2450*2600*3000*4900*5040*5050*5200*6500*9992
