    Abstract

    We develop cluster algorithms for a broad class of loop models on two-dimensional lattices, including several standard O(n) loop models at n≥1. We show that our algorithm has little or no critical slowing-down when 1≤n≤2. We use this algorithm to investigate the honeycomb-lattice O(n) loop model, for which we determine several new critical exponents, and a square-lattice O(n) loop model, for which we obtain new information on the phase diagram.
