Hi folks,
I'm taking a class in statistical mechanics out of Sethna's text. Part of the course involves student presentations. I've settled on his chapter on order parameters, broken symmetry and topology. Its a relatively short chapter and I'd like to read some more.
I'm looking for some more to read about order parameter fields at an introductory grad level and how calculations using homotopy can be used to classify defects.
Thanks in advance for any recommendations.
