Vortices in Nonlinear Fields - From Liquid Crystals to Superfluids, From Non Equilibrium Patterns

There are a variety of possibilities to explain the behaviour of natural phenomena. These are caused by a process known as symmetry breaking, and vortices are one of the most common manifestations. This book concentrates on the dynamics of vortices in various contexts and gives a unified view of the underlying phenomena.
