Soliton dynamics and symmetry in CP² sigma models

The primary purpose of the work undertaken in this thesis is to investigate soliton scattering in the non linear CP² sigma model. This has two spatial and one temporal dimension. The vector fields used to represent the model have three components and hence there exists a global SU(3) symmetry. The e...
