Scientific paper

Domain walls, strings and 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 inhomogeneous
condensates. We review the related formalism in the framework of the
spontaneous breakdown of symmetry.
