abstract
Continuous phase transitions in equilibrium statistical mechanics were successfully described 50 years ago with the development of the renormalization group framework. This framework was initially developed in the context of phase transitions whose universal properties are captured by the long wavelength (and long time) fluctuations of a Landau order parameter field. Subsequent developments include a straightforward generalization to a class of $T = 0$ phase transitions driven by quantum fluctuations. In the last 2 decades it has become clear that there is a vast landscape of quantum phase transitions where the physics is not always usefully (or sometimes cannot be) formulated in terms of fluctuations of a Landau order parameter field. A wide class of such phase transitions - dubbed deconfined quantum critical points - involve the emergence of fractionalized degrees of freedom coupled to emergent gauge fields. Here I review some salient aspects of these deconfined critical points.

Competing Dirac masses in one dimension: Symmetry-enhanced pseudo-first-order transition and deconfined criticality
Competing site and bond electron-phonon couplings in one dimension produce a transition that looks first-order with an emergent U(1) symmetry on finite scales, then becomes a narrow coexistence phase, and quantum phon...

O(5) multicriticality in the 3D two flavor SU(2) lattice gauge Higgs model
Numerical evidence that the O(2)⊕O(3) multicritical point in a 3D SU(2) lattice gauge-Higgs model realizes an O(5)-symmetric critical point, with a first Monte Carlo value of the crossover exponent y2,2=1.838(10).

From the Shastry-Sutherland model to the $J_1$-$J_2$ Heisenberg model
A generalized Shastry-Sutherland model is used to show that the pVBS-to-Néel transition is weakly first-order in the SS limit and becomes continuous near the J1-J2 limit, implying a tri-critical point.

Observation of an emergent energy scale close to dimensional reduction in a quasi-two-dimensional quantum magnet
Near dimensional reduction in Cu2(OH)3Br, THz modes show m2/m1 at the golden ratio and higher peaks consistent with the E8 massive spectrum of a perturbed transverse-field Ising chain.

Measurement Induced Asymmetric Entanglement in a Deconfined Quantum Critical Ground State
Weak Z-type measurements on a 1D deconfined quantum critical analog cause asymmetric entanglement restructuring, with the (↓↓) outcome increasing entanglement for K<K_c and decreasing it for K>K_c, suggesting a weak f...

Bootstrapping the Simplest Deconfined Quantum Critical Point
Conformal bootstrap bounds for U(1)-charged scalars in 3d are saturated by the CP^2 model's large-N and lattice predictions, suggesting the CP^2 deconfined quantum critical point is a conformal field theory.

Generalized Symmetries Phase Transitions with Local Quantum Fields
The paper shows that local gauge theories in 3+1d and 2+1d can realize SPT, SET, and symmetry-breaking phase transitions for one-form symmetries, including phases distinguished by symmetry fractionalization.

Out-of-equilibrium critical dynamics of the three-dimensional ${\mathbb Z}_2$ gauge model along critical relaxational flows
The dynamic critical exponent of the 3D Z2 gauge model under Metropolis relaxational dynamics is z = 2.610(15), obtained from out-of-equilibrium finite-size scaling of the energy density.

Critical relaxational dynamics at the continuous transitions of three-dimensional spin models with ${\mathbb Z}_2$ gauge symmetry
The relaxational dynamics at topological Z2-gauge transitions has dynamic exponent z=2.55(6), while the XY-type transitions in the Z2-gauge XY model match the standard XY dynamics.

Infrared properties of two-dimensional $\mathrm{SU}(N)/H$ nonlinear $\sigma$ models at nonzero $\theta$ angles
Using perturbations of the SU(N)_1 WZNW model, the authors derive the sign of the current-current interaction and conclude which theta-angled sigma models flow to a gapless CFT (flag, SU(N)/SO(N)) and which are gapped...
