Solitons and Related Objects in Quantum Field Theories and String Theories
Nonperturbative objects have played important role in our understanding of quantum fifield theory and string theory. In this lecture we survey these objects and study their role in these theories. Some of these objects are BPS objects in supersymmetric fifield theories, like, vortices, monopoles, instantons, branes in string/M theory, and other times like Q-balls and bubble nucleation.
