dc.subjectIn this thesis, I argue that the solitons in two specific models, namely the sine-Gordon model and the Seiberg-Witten model, are emergent from dual models without solitons. Using the framework for emergence introduced by De Haro (2019), I argue that the behaviour in the sine-Gordon model fits the notion of epistemic emergence and that the behaviour in the Seiberg-Witten model fits the notion of ontological emergence.
