Deconfined quantum critical point with nonlocality

The deconfined quantum critical point (DQCP) between the Néel and valence bond solid order was originally proposed in quantum spin systems with a local Hamiltonian. In the last few years analogs of DQCPs with nonlocal interactions have been explored, which can lead to rich possibilities. The nonlocal interactions can either arise from an instantaneous long-range interaction in the Hamiltonian, or from gapless modes that reside in one higher spatial dimension. Here, we consider another mechanism of generating nonlocal interactions by coupling the DQCP to the "hot spots" of a Fermi surface. We demonstrate that at least within a substantial energy window, the physics of the DQCP is controlled by a new fixed point with a dynamical exponent z>1.
