The spontaneous symmetry breaking in the Ising model can be equivalently de
scribed in terms of percolation of Wolff clusters. In O(n) spin models simi
lar clusters can be built in a general way, and they are currently used to
update these systems in Monte Carlo simulations. Wt show that for three-dim
ensional O(2), O(3) and O(4) such clusters are indeed the physical 'islands
' of the systems, i.e. they percolate at the physical threshold and the per
colation exponents are in the universality class of the corresponding model
. For O(2) and O(3) the result is proven analytically, for O(4) we derived
it by numerical simulations.
