Title: Generalizing deconfined criticality to 3d N-flavor SU(2) quantum chromodynamics on the fuzzy sphere

Abstract:  The fuzzy sphere formalism is a recently introduced powerful lens to probe critical behavior and find clear numerical signatures of conformal symmetry. After introducing the technique, we use it to investigate a candidate for SU(2) QCD with N fermions and a global symmetry which is a possible effective description of the deconfined quantum critical point (DQCP)—a phase transition beyond the Landau paradigm. Employing quantum Monte Carlo simulations of the generalized models, we probe the conformal window of the gauge theories, with the fuzzy sphere formalism significantly reducing finite-size-effects.
