SUMMARY
This discussion focuses on finding theoretical physics resources specifically related to topological insulators. Participants recommend several materials, including Coleman's "Introduction to Many-Body Physics" and Asboth's published lecture notes. The consensus is that recent topics are primarily covered in review articles from sources like Rev. Mod. Phys. and ArXiv, rather than in traditional textbooks. The discussion emphasizes the importance of expert recommendations over generic search engine results.
