We find compelling evidence that the generic runaway renormalization flow of the gauge coupling is to a weak first order transition, similar to the case of U(1)$\\times$U(1) symmetry. Our results imply that recent numeric studies of the N\\`{e}el antiferromagnet to valence bond solid quantum phase transition in SU(2)-symmetric models were not accurate enough in determining the nature of the transition.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2008-05-28T12:37:14.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "deconfined criticality", "critical point action reveal", "point action reveal strong violations", "bond solid quantum phase transition", "valence bond solid quantum phase" ], "note": { "typesetting": "RevTeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2008arXiv0805.4334K" } } }
