Topological solitons, in particular in gauge field theories or in string theories, have come to play key roles in large areas of contemporary physics, from condensed matter physics, nuclear physics, high-energy physics to astrophysics and cosmology. They take various forms and various dimensions, such as kinks, vortices, sigma model lumps, Skyrmions, monopoles and instantons, and their applications in physics are characterized often by ideas such as duality, renormalization-group flow, conformal invariance, anomalies, an and so on, representing various possible ways the degrees of freedom of the system under consideration rearrange themselves and realize varieties of beautiful physical phenomena. Often the topological solitons and their quantum properties are central in determining the nonAbelian gauge dynamics of strongly interacting systems, such as in the problem of quark confinement in QCD. This workshop aims to assess and discuss recent developments in these and related research fields. The workshop is hosted by the University of Pisa and INFN, Pisa.

In order to enable an iCal export link, your account needs to have an API key created. This key enables other applications to access data from within Indico even when you are neither using nor logged into the Indico system yourself with the link provided. Once created, you can manage your key at any time by going to 'My Profile' and looking under the tab entitled 'HTTP API'. Further information about HTTP API keys can be found in the Indico documentation.
Additionally to having an API key associated with your account, exporting private event information requires the usage of a persistent signature. This enables API URLs which do not expire after a few minutes so while the setting is active, anyone in possession of the link provided can access the information. Due to this, it is extremely important that you keep these links private and for your use only. If you think someone else may have acquired access to a link using this key in the future, you must immediately create a new key pair on the 'My Profile' page under the 'HTTP API' and update the iCalendar links afterwards.
