Emergent $\mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry near a CDW multicritical point
arXiv (Cornell University)(2023)
摘要
We consider the critical behavior associated with incommensurate unidirectional charge-density-wave ordering in a weakly orthorhombic system subject to uniaxial strain as an experimentally significant example of $U(1)\times U(1)$ multicriticality. We show that, depending on microscopic details, the phase diagram can have qualitatively different structures which can involve a vestigial meta-nematic critical point, a pair of tricritical points, a decoupled tetracritical point, or (at least at mean-field level) a bicritical point. We analyze the emergent symmetries in the critical regime and find that these can -- at least in some cases -- involve an emergent $\mathbb{Z}_2$ order parameter symmetry.
