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...

| description |
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.
