Nienhuis's BKT conjecture for O(n) models

Consider the O(n)O(n) model on the hexagonal lattice with loop-weight n(0,2)n\in(0,2) and edge-weight x>0x>0, and define

xc(n)=12+2n.x_c(n)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2-n}}}.

Nienhuis's BKT conjecture. For x<xc(n)x<x_c(n), the probability that two points lie on the same loop decays exponentially fast, whereas for xxc(n)x\geq x_c(n) it decays as a power law. The source says this has been rigorously established only for n=0n=0 and n=1n=1; the remaining cases are open.
