Solitons, Instantons, and Twistors (Oxford Graduate Texts in Mathematics)

Oxford University Press, 2010

Most nonlinear differential equations arising in natural sciences admit chaotic behaviour and cannot be solved analytically. Integrable systems lie on the other extreme. They possess regular, stable, and well behaved solutions known as solitons and instantons. These solutions play important roles in pure and applied mathematics as well as in...
