Homotopy in statistical physics

In condensed matter physics and related areas, topological defects play important roles in phase transitions and critical phenomena. Homotopy theory facilitates the classification of such topological defects. After a pedagogic introduction to the mathematical methods involved in topology and homot...

In condensed matter physics and related areas, topological defects play important roles in phase transitions and critical phenomena. Homotopy theory facilitates the classification of such topological defects. After a pedagogic introduction to the mathematical methods involved in topology and homotopy theory, the role of the latter in a number of mainly low-dimensional statistical-mechanical systems is outlined. Some recent activities in this area are reviewed and some possible future directions are discussed.
The author wishes to thank Bertrand Berche, Arnaldo Donoso and Ricardo Paredes for their organizing the Mochima Spring School. The remaining participants, and in particular the students, are also thanked for making the School so dynamic and interesting. The author further thanks Dominique Mouhanna and Aernout van Enter for enlightening comments.
