Numerics on the odd toric code reveal a continuous multicritical point on the self-dual line where confinement, Higgs condensation, VBS order, and self-duality breaking coincide. Hints of additional VBS phases at intermediate fields are also reported.

Odd Toric Code in a tilted field: Higgs-confinement multicriticality, spontaneous self-duality symmetry breaking, and valence bond solids
Numerics on the odd toric code reveal a continuous multicritical point on the self-dual line where confinement, Higgs condensation, VBS order, and self-duality breaking coincide. Hints of additional VBS phases at intermediate fields are also reported.
