We study a one-dimensional (1d) system that shows many analogies to proposed two-dimensional (2d) deconfined quantum critical points (DQCP). Our system is a translationally invariant spin-1/2 chain with on-site $Z_2 \times Z_2$ symmetry and…

We first propose a topological term that captures the "intertwinement" between the standard "$\sqrt{3} \times \sqrt{3}$" antiferromagnetic order (or the so-called 120$^\circ$ state) and the "$\sqrt{12}\times \sqrt{12}$" valence solid bond…
