Solitons from geometry

prof. dr hab. Maciej Dunajski

University of Cambridge

Solitons are localised non-singular lumps of energy which describe particles non perturbatively. Finding the solitons usually involves solving nonlinear differential equations, but I shall show that in some cases the solitons emerge directly from the underlying space-time geometry.
