Scientific paper

Kinks, vortices, monopoles are extended objects, or defects, of quantum origin with topologically non-trivial properties and macroscopic behavior. They are described in Quantum Field Theory in terms of non-homogeneous boson condensation. I will review the related QFT formalism, the spontaneous breakdown of symmetry framework in which the defects appear and discuss finite temperature effects, also in connection with phase transition problematics.
