Abstract
We present an overview of multisoliton chains arising in various non-integrable field theories, and discuss different mechanisms, which may lead to the occurrence of such axially-symmetric classical solutions. We explain the pattern of interactions between different solitons, in particular Q-balls, Skyrmions and monopoles and show how chains of interacting non-BPS solitons may form in a dynamic equilibrium between repulsive and attractive forces.
