Noncompact SO(1,N) sigma-models are studied in terms of their large N expansion in a lattice formulation in dimensions d \geq 2. Explicit results for the spin and current two-point functions as well as for the Binder cumulant are presented…

In the usual statistical model of a dense polymer (a single space-filling loop on a lattice) in two dimensions the loop does not cross itself. We modify this by including intersections in which {\em three} lines can cross at the same point,…

We study $(1+1)$-dimensional $SU(N)$ spin systems in the presence of the global $SU(N)$ rotation and lattice translation symmetries. By matching the mixed anomaly of the $PSU(N)\times\mathbb{Z}$ symmetry in the continuum limit, we identify…
We reformulate the O(N) sigma model as a loop model whose configurations are the all-order strong coupling graphs of the original model. The loop configurations are represented by a pointer list in the computer and a Monte Carlo update…
Using Monte Carlo simulations, we consider the lattice version of the $O(N)\otimes O(M)$ sigma model for $2\leq M\leq4$ and $M\leq N \leq8$. We find a continuous transition for $N\geq M+4$. Estimates of the critical exponents for cases of…
We simulate the spin-1/2 Ising model and the Blume-Capel model at various values of the parameter D on the simple cubic lattice. We perform a finite size scaling study of lattices of a linear size up to L=360 to obtain accurate estimates…

Mitra et al. [Phys. Rev. E 99 (2019) 012117] proposed a new percolation model that includes distortion in the square lattice and concluded that it may belong to the same universality class as the ordinary percolation. But the conclusion is…
We address the interplay between local and global symmetries by analyzing the continuum limit of two-dimensional multicomponent scalar lattice gauge theories, endowed by non-Abelian local and global invariance. These theories are…
We study the O(3) sigma model in $D=2$ on the lattice with a Boltzmann weight linearized in $\beta$ on each link. While the spin formulation now suffers from a sign-problem the equivalent loop model remains positive and becomes particularly…
Simulation data are analyzed for four 3D spin-$1/2$ Ising models: on the FCC lattice, the BCC lattice, the SC lattice and the Diamond lattice. The observables studied are the susceptibility, the reduced second moment correlation length, and…

We consider a two-dimensional $\sigma$-model with discrete icosahedral/dodecahedral symmetry. Using the perturbative renormalization group, we argue that this model has a different continuum limit with respect to the O(3) $\sigma$ model.…
We discuss some aspects of the continuum limit of some lattice models, in particular the $2D$ $O(N)$ models. The continuum limit is taken either in an infinite volume or in a box whose size is a fixed fraction of the infinite volume…
