A symmetry broken phase of a system with internal degrees of freedom often features a complex order parameter, which generates a rich variety of topological excitations and imposes topological constraints on their interaction (topological influence); yet the very complexity of the order parameter makes it difficult to treat topological excitations and topological influence systematically. To overcome this problem, we develop a general method to calculate homotopy groups and derive decomposition formulas which express homotopy groups of the order parameter manifoldin terms of those of the symmetryof a system and those of the remaining symmetryof the state. By applying these formulas to general monopoles and three-dimensional skyrmions, we show that their textures are obtained through substitution of the correspondingsubalgebra for thespin. We also show that a discrete symmetry ofis necessary for the presence of topological influence and find topological influence on a skyrmion characterized by a non-Abelian permutation group of three elements in the ground state of an SU(3)-Heisenberg model.
