Geometry and Toplogy of Solitons
arXiv:hep-th/0102152
Abstract
Basic concepts and definitions in differential geometry and topology which are important in the theory of solitons and instantons are reviewed. Many examples from soliton theory are discussed briefly, in order to highlight the application of various geometrical concepts and techniques.
