Caution on emergent continuous symmetry: A Monte Carlo investigation of the transverse-field frustrated Ising model on the triangular and honeycomb lattices

Continuous symmetries are believed to emerge at many quantum critical points in frustrated magnets. In this work, we study two candidates of this paradigm: the transverse-field frustrated Ising model (TFFIM) on the triangular and the honeycomb lattices. The former is the prototypical example of this...
