Overview: Gives a complete coverage of topological objects in nonperturbative QCD and their interrelation in gauge theories.Covers electroweak sphalerons and their role in baryon asymmetry of the universe and t.This book introduces a variety of aspects in nonperturbative Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), focusing on the topological objects present in gauge theories. These objects, like magnetic monopoles, instantons, instanto-dysons, sphalerons, QCD flux tubes, etc, are first introduced individually and, later, treated collectively. As ensembles, they produce various phenomena that can be modeled
