SU(2)-invariant continuum theory for an unconventional phase transition in a three-dimensional classical dimer model.

We derive a continuum theory for the phase transition in a classical dimer model on the cubic lattice, observed in recent Monte Carlo simulations. Our derivation relies on the mapping from a three-dimensional classical problem to a two-dimensional quantum problem, by which the dimer model is related...
