Abstract

Nontopological solitons are stable bound state solutions whose boundary condition at infinity is the same as that for the physical vacuum state. They exist in classical, as well as quantum mechanical, field theories. These solutions in any space-dimension are reviewed. We also discuss their applications to Bose liquid, hadron structures and soliton stars.
