dc.descriptionIn the framework of the Closed-Time-Path formalism, we show how topological defects may arise in Quantum Field Theory as result of a localized (inhomogeneous) condensation of particles. We demonstrate our approach on two examples; kinks in the $2D λψ^{4}$ theory (both at zero and finite temperature) and vortices in the complex $4D λψ^{4} $ theory.
