Abstract

In the Hamiltonian picture, free spin-1/21/2 Dirac fermions on a bipartite lattice have an O(4)O(4) (spin-charge) symmetry. Here we construct an interacting lattice model with an interaction VV, which is similar to the Hubbard interaction but preserves the spin-charge flip symmetry. By tuning the coupling VV, we show that we can study the phase transition between the massless fermion phase at small-VV and a massive fermion phase at large-VV. We construct a fermion bag algorithm to study this phase transition and find evidence for it to be second order. Numerical study shows that the universality class of the transition is different from the one studied earlier involving the Hubbard coupling UU. Here we obtain some critical exponents using lattices up to L=48L=48.
