Anisotropic deconfined criticality in Dirac spin liquids

Abstract We analyze a Higgs transition from a U(1) Dirac spin liquid to a gapless ℤ2 spin liquid. This ℤ2 spin liquid is of relevance to the spin S = 1/2 square lattice antiferromagnet, where recent numerical studies have given evidence for such a phase existing in the regime of high frustration bet...
