We show that the loop $O(n)$ model on the hexagonal lattice exhibits exponential decay of loop sizes whenever $n> 1$ and $x<\tfrac{1}{\sqrt{3}}+\varepsilon(n)$, for some suitable choice of $\varepsilon(n)>0$. It is expected that, for $n…
We explore the phase diagram of an O(n) model on the honeycomb lattice with vacancies, using finite-size scaling and transfer-matrix methods. We make use of the loop representation of the O(n) model, so that $n$ is not restricted to…
Using Monte Carlo methods and finite-size scaling, we investigate surface criticality in the O$(n)$ models on the simple-cubic lattice with $n=1$, 2, and 3, i.e. the Ising, XY, and Heisenberg models. For the critical couplings we find…
In the loop $O(n)$ model a collection of mutually-disjoint self-avoiding loops is drawn at random on a finite domain of a lattice with probability proportional to $${\lambda^{\# \mbox{edges}} n^{\# \mbox{loops}},}$$ where $\lambda, n \in…
We study a model of dilute oriented loops on the square lattice, where each loop is compatible with a fixed, alternating orientation of the lattice edges. This implies that loop strands are not allowed to go straight at vertices, and…
We study the $O(n)$ loop model on the honeycomb lattice with open boundary conditions. Reflection matrices for the underlying Izergin-Korepin $R$-matrix lead to three inequivalent sets of integrable boundary weights. One set, which has…
