Abstract

A previous work (Joshi et al., arXiv:1912.08822) found a deconfined critical point at non-zero doping in a tt-JJ model with all-to-all and random hopping and spin exchange, and argued for its relevance to the phenomenology of the cuprates. We extend this model to include all-to-all and random density-density interactions of mean-square strength KK. In a fixed realization of the disorder, and for specific values of the hopping, exchange, and density interactions, the model is supersymmetric; but, we find no supersymmetry after independent averages over the interactions. Using the previously developed renormalization group analysis, we find a new fixed point at non-zero KK. However, this fixed point is unstable towards the previously found fixed point at K=0K=0 in our perturbative analysis. We compute the exponent characterizing density fluctuations at both fixed points: this exponent determines the spectrum of electron energy-loss spectroscopy.
