We study the performance of a Wolff-type embedding algorithm for $RP^N$ $\sigma$-models. We find that the algorithm in which we update the embedded Ising model \`a la Swendsen-Wang has critical slowing-down as $z_\chi \approx 1$. If instead…

The Swendsen-Wang algorithm is a sophisticated, widely-used Markov chain for sampling from the Gibbs distribution for the ferromagnetic Ising and Potts models. This chain has proved difficult to analyze, due in part to the global nature of…

Swendsen-Wang dynamics for the Potts model was proposed in the late 1980's as an alternative to single-site heat-bath dynamics, in which global updates allow this MCMC sampler to switch between metastable states and ideally mix faster. Gore…

We study a class of Monte Carlo algorithms for the nonlinear $\sigma$-model, based on a Wolff-type embedding of Ising spins into the target manifold $M$. We argue heuristically that, at least for an asymptotically free model, such an…

We propose a new effective cluster algorithm of tuning the critical point automatically, which is an extended version of Swendsen-Wang algorithm. We change the probability of connecting spins of the same type, $p = 1 - e^{- J/ k_BT}$, in…

We adapted the SWAP molecular dynamics algorithm for use in lattice Ising spin models. We dressed the spins with a randomly distributed length and we alternated long-range spin exchanges with conventional single spin flip Monte Carlo…

Monte Carlo algorithms, like the Swendsen-Wang and invaded-cluster, sample the Ising and Potts models asymptotically faster than single-spin Glauber dynamics do. Here, we generalize both algorithms to sample Potts lattice gauge theory by…

We have considered the corrections to the finite-size-scaling functions for a general class of $O(N)$ $\sigma$-models with two-spin interactions in two dimensions for $N=\infty$. We have computed the leading corrections finding that they…
