Multicritical deconfined quantum criticality and Lifshitz point of a helical valence-bond phase

B Zhao, J Takahashi, AW Sandvik - Physical Review Letters, 2020 - APS
The S= 1/2 square-lattice JQ model hosts a deconfined quantum phase transition between
antiferromagnetic and dimerized (valence-bond solid) ground states. We here study two …

Quantum criticality and spin liquid phase in the Shastry-Sutherland model

J Yang, AW Sandvik, L Wang - Physical Review B, 2022 - APS

Valence-bond solids, vestigial order, and emergent SO (5) symmetry in a two-dimensional quantum magnet

J Takahashi, AW Sandvik - Physical Review Research, 2020 - APS

Self-duality protected multicriticality in deconfined quantum phase transitions

DC Lu, C Xu, YZ You - Physical Review B, 2021 - APS
Duality places an important constraint on the renormalization group flows and the phase
diagrams. For self-dual theories, the self-duality can be promoted as a symmetry, this leads …
