title = "Lectures on the spin and loop O(n) models",
abstract = "The classical spin O(n) model is a model on a d-dimensional lattice in which a vector on the (n-1) -dimensional sphere is assigned to every lattice site and the vectors at adjacent sites interact ferromagnetically via their inner product. Special cases include the Ising model (n=1), the XY model (n=2) and the Heisenberg model (n=3). We discuss questions of long-range order and decay of correlations in the spin O(n) model for different combinations of the lattice dimension d and the number of spin components n. The loop O(n) model is a model for a random configuration of disjoint loops. We discuss its properties on the hexagonal lattice. The model is parameterized by a loop weight n≥0 and an edge weight (n=0). Special cases include self-avoiding walk (n=1), the Ising model (n=x=1), critical percolation (formula presented), dimer model (formula presented), proper 4-coloring (formula presented), integer-valued (n=2) and tree-valued (integer (formula presented)) Lipschitz functions and the hard hexagon model (formula presented). The object of study in the model is the typical structure of loops. We review the connection of the model with the spin O(n) model and discuss its conjectured phase diagram, emphasizing the many open problems remaining.",
