3D loop models and the CP^{n-1} sigma model
Many statistical mechanics problems can be framed in terms of random curves; we consider a class of three-dimensional loop models that are prototypes for such ensembles. The models show transitions between phases with infinite loops and short-loop phases. We map them to $CP^{n-1}$ sigma models, wher...
