Abstract
I discuss here how the highly-efficient spin-1/2 cluster algorithm for the Heisenberg antiferromagnet may be extended to higher-dimensional representa tions; some numerical results are provided. The same extensions can be used for the U(1) flux cluster algorithm, but have not yielded signals of the d esired Coulomb phase of the system.
