  Relatively simple with extremely rich behavior, phase transitions galore!

  \frametitle{Local Monte Carlo: Not Great}

  Standard approach to modelling arbitrary stat mech system: metropolis.
  
  \begin{enumerate}
    \item Pick random spin.
    \item Pick random rotation $R$.
    \item Compute change in energy $\Delta\H$ resulting from taking $s$ to
      $R(s)$.
    \item Take $s$ to $R(s)$ with probability $\max\{1,e^{-\beta\Delta\H}\}$.
  \end{enumerate}

  Problem: Scales very poorly near phase transitions.

  Correlation time $\tau\sim L^z$ at critical point, $\tau\sim t^{-z/\nu}$
  approaching it.

  $z$ takes large integer values for Ising, order-$n$, Potts model critical
  points.
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}
  \frametitle{Wolff: wow, what a solution}

  \begin{enumerate}
    \item Pick random spin, add to cluster.
    \item Pick random rotation $R$.
    \item For every neighboring spin, add to cluster with probability
      $\min\{0,1-e^{-\beta(Z(R(s),t)-Z(R(s),R(t)))}\}$.
    \item Repeat 3 for every spin added to cluster.
    \item Transform entire cluster with rotation $R$.
  \end{enumerate}
  Relies on symmetry of $Z$

  Fast near the critical point: early studies thought $z$ was zero, actually
  $0.1$--$0.4$.
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}
  \frametitle{We want to apply an external field, though}

  The external field $H$ is not invariant under global rotations!

  Let's make it that way: $R_s$ is the rotation that takes $s$ to the
  identity
  (1, first basis vector, etc)
  \[
    \tilde Z(s_i,s_j)=
    \begin{cases}
      Z(s_i,s_j) & \text{if $i,j\neq N$}\\
      H(R_{s_0}s_i) & \text{if $j=0$}\\
      H(R_{s_0}s_j) & \text{if $i=0$}
    \end{cases}
  \]
  Exact correspondence between expectation values of operators in old and new
  models: if $A(s)$ is an observable on old model, $\tilde
  A(s_0,s)=A(R_{s_0}s)$ has the property
  \[
    \langle\tilde
    A\rangle=\mathop{\mathrm{Tr}}\nolimits_s\mathop{\mathrm{Tr}}\nolimits_{s_0}\tilde
    A(s_0,s)=\mathop{\mathrm{Tr}}\nolimits_sA(s)=\langle A\rangle
  \]
