Abstract

We study a completely-packed loop model with crossings in a three-dimensional lattice and confirm it is described by RPn1\mathrm{RP}^{n-1} sigma field theories. We use Monte Carlo simulations, with systems sizes up to 1800×1800×18001800\times1800\times1800, to obtain the critical exponents for a universality class with no previously reported estimates in the literature, namely the replica-like limit n1n\rightarrow1 of RPn1\mathrm{RP}^{n-1} sigma field theory. Estimates of critical exponents include ν=0.918(5)\nu=0.918(5) and η=0.091(9)\eta=-0.091(9). We also study the scaling dimension of the 4-leg watermelon correlators, particularly for n=1n=1 we obtain the value x4=1.292(8)x_4=1.292(8).
