Hi all,
I was wondering if there was a reference/textbook where the degenerate perturbation calculation for the Transverse Ising model was treated fully. I want to better understand how in the weak magnetic field limit, the ground state degeneracy only lifts at N'th order in perturbation theory (for a lattice of N spins).
