We consider a self-avoiding walk on the dual $\mathbb{Z}^2$ lattice. This walk can traverse the same square twice but cannot cross the same edge more than once. The weight of each square visited by the walk depends on the way the walk…

We solve the O(n) model, defined in terms of self- and mutually avoiding loops coexisting with voids, on a 3-simplex fractal lattice, using an exact real space renormalization group technique. As the density of voids is decreased, the model…

The critical behavior of two-dimensional ${\rm O}(N)$ $\sigma$ models with $N\leq 2$ on the square, triangular, and honeycomb lattices is investigated by an analysis of the strong-coupling expansion of the two-point fundamental Green's…

We study a percolation problem based on critical loop configurations of the O($n$) loop model on the honeycomb lattice. We define dual clusters as groups of sites on the dual triangular lattice that are not separated by a loop, and…

We investigate the O($n$) nonintersecting loop model on the square lattice under the constraint that the loops consist of ninety-degree bends only. The model is governed by the loop weight $n$, a weight $x$ for each vertex of the lattice…

We show how to compute the exact partition function for lattice statistical-mechanical models whose Boltzmann weights obey a special "crossing" symmetry. The crossing symmetry equates partition functions on different trivalent graphs,…

We study the loop $O(n)$ model on the honeycomb lattice. By means of local non-planar deformations of the lattice, we construct a discrete stress-energy tensor. For $n\in [0,2]$, it gives a new observable satisfying a part of Cauchy-Riemann…

For $n\in [-2,2]$ the $O(n)$ model on a random lattice has critical points to which a scaling behaviour characteristic of 2D gravity interacting with conformal matter fields with $c\in [-\infty,1]$ can be associated. Previously we have…

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…

The O(n) vector model with logarithmic action on a lattice of coordination 3 is related to a gas of self-avoiding loops on the lattice. This formulation allows for analytical continuation in n: critical behaviour is found in the real…

Nienhuis' truncated O(n) model gives rise to a model of self-avoiding loops on the hexagonal lattice, each loop having a fugacity of n. We study such loops subjected to a particular kind of staggered field w, which for n -> infinity has the…

A family of models for fluctuating loops in a two dimensional random background is analyzed. The models are formulated as O(n) spin models with quenched inhomogeneous interactions. Using the replica method, the models are mapped to the…

An equilibrium random surface multistep height model proposed in [Abraham and Newman, EPL, 86, 16002 (2009)] is studied using a variant of the worm algorithm. In one limit, the model reduces to the two-dimensional Ising model in the height…

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…

A relation between O$(n)$ models and Ising models has been recently conjectured [L. Casetti, C. Nardini, and R. Nerattini, Phys. Rev. Lett. 106, 057208 (2011)]. Such a relation, inspired by an energy landscape analysis, implies that the…

Stimulated by recent experiments on materials representing the realization of the anisotropic Heisenberg spin-$1/2$ model on the triangular lattice, we explore further properties of such a model in the easy-axis regime $\alpha = J_\perp/J_z…

In this article we report a preliminary investigation of the large $N$ limit of a generalized one-matrix model which represents an $O(n)$ symmetric model on a random lattice. The model on a regular lattice is known to be critical only for…

We investigate, by series methods, the behaviour of interacting self-avoiding walks (ISAWs) on the honeycomb lattice and on the square lattice. This is the first such investigation of ISAWs on the honeycomb lattice. We have generated data…

We study the number $c_n^{(N)}$ of $n$-step self-avoiding walks on the $N$-dimensional hypercube, and identify an $N$-dependent \emph{connective constant} $\mu_N$ and amplitude $A_N$ such that $c_n^{(N)}$ is $O(\mu_N^n)$ for all $n$ and…

We introduce a fast implementation of the pivot algorithm for self-avoiding walks, which we use to obtain large samples of walks on the cubic lattice of up to $33 \times 10^6$ steps. Consequently the critical exponent $\nu$ for…
