Topological defects in cosmology and nuclear physics
This dissertation is concerned with topological defects that arise from symmetry breaking in the non-linear sigma model limits of scalar field theories. The nonlinear evolution of global topological defects in <I>O</I> (<I>N</I>) field theories provide a mechansims for sourci...
