I take an ordered antiferromagnet, and change the magnetic field or the
exchange interactions to provoke a phase transition
from long-range antiferromagnetic order to a quantum
short-range-ordered state such as a valence bond crystal. The symmetry
properties of those two phases are completely different: the
antiferromagnet breaks spin-rotation symmetry, while the valence bond
crystal breaks only lattice translation symmetry. However, as soon as
the antiferromagnetism goes away, the valence bond crystal order
appears. Why?</span></b></p>

this talk, I shall explain our current (since approx. 20 years ago)
understanding of the answer to that question, based on a collection
of ideas that goes by the name of “deconfined quantum criticality”. I
shall then briefly describe some recent work that my collaborators and I
have been doing to describe this kind of phase transition in a more
unified theoretical framework than has
been available to date.</span></b></p></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><span class="gmail_signature_prefix">-- </span><br><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><font size="4"><span style="font-family:arial"><b>Comisión ChIFLy</b></span></font></div><div><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:small">______________________________________________</span></div><span style="font-family:arial"><div style="font-size:small"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:small"><br></span></div></span><span style="color:rgb(29,34,40);font-family:"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif">Si no tenés interés en recibir los avisos de las chiflys, escribinos.</span><br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
