Abstract

Some recent work on vortices, monopoles, and Skyrmions, and the relationships between them, is reviewed. A formula for the volume of certain vortex moduli spaces is presented. Also, it is explained how the similarity between a number of N-monopole and N-Skyrmion solutions can be understood using rational maps.
