Duality refers to two equivalent descriptions of the same theory from different points of view.
Recently there has been tremendous progress in formulating and understanding possible …

The paradigmatic example of deconfined quantum criticality is the Neel to valence bond
solid phase transition. The continuum description of this transition is the N= 2 case of the …

The theory of deconfined quantum critical (DQC) points describes phase transitions at
absolute temperature T= 0 outside the standard paradigm, predicting continuous …

Quantum spin liquids (QSLs) as novel phases of matter with long-range entanglement and
deconfined quantum critical points (DQCPs) as descriptions for unconventional phase …

We study the scaling behavior of the Rényi entanglement entropy with smooth boundaries at
the putative deconfined critical point separating the Néel antiferromagnetic and valence …

It is well known that theorems of Lieb-Schultz-Mattis type prohibit the existence of a trivial
symmetric gapped ground state in certain systems possessing a combination of internal and …

Recently, significant progress has been made in (2+ 1)-dimensional conformal field theories
without supersymmetry. In particular, it was realized that different Lagrangians may be …

Motivated by the novel phenomena observed in the layered material SrCu 2 (BO 3) 2, the
Shastry-Sutherland model (SSM) has been extensively studied as the minimal model for …

Continuous quantum phase transitions beyond the conventional paradigm of fluctuations of
a symmetry-breaking order parameter are challenging for theory. These phase transitions …

We study a possible deconfined quantum phase transition in a realistic model of a two-
dimensional Shastry-Sutherland quantum magnet, using both numerical and field theoretic …
