Chiral Ising Gross-Neveu criticality of a single Dirac cone: A quantum Monte Carlo study

Abstract

We perform large-scale quantum Monte Carlo simulations of SLAC fermions on a two-dimensional square lattice at half filling with a single Dirac cone with $N=2$ spinor components and repulsive on-site interactions. Despite the presence of a sign problem, we accurately identify the critical interaction strength $U_c=7.28\pm 0.02$ in units of the hopping amplitude, for a continuous quantum phase transition between a paramagnetic Dirac semimetal and a ferromagnetic insulator. Using finite-size scaling, we extract the critical exponents for the corresponding $N=2$ chiral Ising Gross-Neveu universality class: the inverse correlation length exponent ${\nu }^{-1}=1.19\pm 0.03$, the order parameter anomalous dimension ${\eta }_{\varphi }=0.31\pm 0.01$, and the fermion anomalous dimension ${\eta }_{\psi }=0.136\pm 0.005$.
