quantum field theory - Are QFT solitons expected to represent standard model particles? Or strings?


Is work on solitons in QFT's focused on finding solutions that could represent the fundamental particles of the Standard Model, or is the work focused on finding particles Beyond The Standard Model? If the work is primarily BTSM, is it still possible that solitons represent the SM particles?


My related question is: is there any possible relationship between solitions in N-dimensional QFT's, and string theory? Is there a possible duality in which strings are just solitions in a QFT? Or is that just silly and impossible?

Understanding Stagnation point in pitot fluid

What is stagnation point in fluid mechanics. At the open end of the pitot tube the velocity of the fluid becomes zero.But that should result...
