Abstract
A cluster algorithm is presented for the Kalb-Ramond plaquette model in four dimensions which dramatically reduces critical slowing. The critical exponent is reduced from (standard Metropolis algorithm) to . The Cluster algorithm updates the monopole configuration known to be responsible for the second order phase transition.
