Topological Defects – Overview

This is an advanced quantum field theory course on topological defects. It covers various aspects of cosmic strings, magnetic monopoles, domain walls, and instantons. The content of the lecture explores their unique characteristics and their significance in both cosmology and particle physics. The course is self-contained, but the basic knowledge of introductory quantum field theory is recommended.
