Abstract
In Sect. 2.4, I focused on the importance of solitons. The importance of course depends on what kind of field theory and solitons we consider. Solitons appear in various field theories, and an index characterizing those various solitons is the dimension of the solitons. The kinks, vortices, and monopoles having appeared in the preceding chapter are classified by their dimensions.
