Emergent SO(5) Symmetry at the Néel to Valence-Bond-Solid Transition
We show numerically that the “deconfined” quantum critical point between the Néel antiferromagnet and the columnar valence-bond solid, for a square lattice of spin 1/2, has an emergent SO(5) symmetry. This symmetry allows the Néel vector and the valence-bond solid order parameter to be rotated into...
