Boson pairing and unusual criticality in a generalized XY model

Abstract

We discuss the unusual critical behavior of a generalized XY model containing both 2π-periodic and π-periodic couplings between sites. The presence of vortices and half-vortices allows for single-particle condensate and pair-condensate phases. Using a field theoretic formulation and worm algorithm Monte Carlo simulations, we show that in two dimensions it is possible for the system to pass directly from the disordered (high temperature) phase to the single particle (quasi)-condensate via an Ising transition, a situation reminiscent of the `deconfined criticality' scenario.
