The sine-Gordon Model and its Applications From Pendula and Josephson Junctions to Gravity and High-Energy Physics

The sine-Gordon model is a ubiquitous model of Mathematical Physics with a wide range of applications extending from coupled torsion pendula and Josephson junction arrays to gravitational and high-energy physics models. The purpose of this book is to present a summary of recent developments in this...
