چکیده
We study the O(N) loop model on the Honeycomb lattice with real value N ≥ 1 by means of a cluster algorithm. The formulation of the algorithm is based on the equivalence of the O(N) loop model and the low-temperature graphical representation of a N -color Ashkin-Teller model on the triangular lattice. The latter model with integer N can be simulated by means of an embedding Swendsen-Wang-type cluster method. By taking into account the symmetry among loops of different colors, we develop another version of the Swendsen-Wang-type method. This version allows the number of colors N to take any real value N ≥ 1. As an application, ∗Correspondence should be sent to: [email protected]

Cluster Simulations of Loop Models on Planar Lattices
Making use of the duality relation of the Ising model, we develop cluster algorithms for several loop models on planar lattices. We then investigate the O(n) model on the honeycomb lattice and faceand corner-cubic models on the square lattice. Several new physical phenomena are observed. For instance, critical exponents, which have not been reported for the O(n) model in literature, are determi...
متن کاملCluster simulations of loop models on two-dimensional lattices.
We develop cluster algorithms for a broad class of loop models on two-dimensional lattices, including several standard O(n) loop models at n> or =1. We show that our algorithm has little or no critical slowing-down when 1< or =n< or =2. We use this algorithm to investigate the honeycomb-lattice O(n) loop model, for which we determine several new critical exponents, and a square-lattice O(n) loo...
متن کاملCritical properties of a dilute O(n) model on the kagome lattice.
A critical dilute O(n) model on the kagome lattice is investigated analytically and numerically. We employ a number of exact equivalences which, in a few steps, link the critical O(n) spin model on the kagome lattice to the exactly solvable critical q-state Potts model on the honeycomb lattice with q=(n+1)2. The intermediate steps involve the random-cluster model on the honeycomb lattice and a ...

We investigate the controversial issue of the existence of universality classes describing critical phenomena in three-dimensional statistical systems characterized by a matrix order parameter with symmetry O(2)⊗O(N) and symmetry-breaking pattern O(2)⊗O(N)→O(2)⊗O(N − 2). Physical realizations of these systems are, for example, frustrated spin models with noncollinear order. Starting from the fi...
متن کاملFinite average lengths in critical loop models
A relation between the average length of loops and their free energy is obtained for a variety of O(n)-type models on two-dimensional lattices, by extending to finite temperatures a calculation due to Kast. We show that the (number) averaged loop length L stays finite for all non-zero fugacities n, and in particular it does not diverge upon entering the critical regime (n → 2+). Fully packed lo...
