      abstract = {This new edition has been thoroughly revised, expanded and  contain some updates function of the novel results and  shift of scientific interest in the topics. The book has a  Foreword by Jerry L. Bona and Hongqiu Chen. The book is an  introduction to nonlinear waves and soliton theory in the  special environment of compact spaces such a closed curves  and surfaces and other domain contours. It assumes  familiarity with basic soliton theory and nonlinear  dynamical systems. The first part of the book introduces  the mathematical concept required for treating the  manifolds considered, providing relevant notions from  topology and differential geometry. An introduction to the  theory of motion of curves and surfaces - as part of the  emerging field of contour dynamics - is given. The second  and third parts discuss the modeling of various physical  solitons on compact systems, such as filaments, loops and  drops made of almost incompressible materials thereby  intersecting with a large number of physical disciplines  from hydrodynamics to compact object astrophysics. This  book is intended for graduate students and researchers in  mathematics, physics and engineering.},
