The O(3) non-linear sigma model (NLSM) is a prototypical field theory for QCD and ferromagnetism, and provides a simple system in which to study topological effects. In lattice QCD, the gradient flow has been demonstrated to remove…
We explore the phase diagram of the O($n$) loop model on the square lattice in the $(x,n)$ plane, where $x$ is the weight of a lattice edge covered by a loop. These results are based on transfer-matrix calculations and finite-size scaling.…
The loop $O(n)$ model is a family of probability measures on collections of non-intersecting loops on the hexagonal lattice, parameterized by a loop-weight $n$ and an edge-weight $x$. Nienhuis predicts that, for $0 \leq n \leq 2$, the model…
