Ising Nematic Quantum Critical Point in a Metal: A Monte Carlo Study

The Ising nematic quantum critical point associated with the zero-temperature transition from a symmetric to a nematic metal is an exemplar of metallic quantum criticality. We carry out a minus-sign-free quantum Monte Carlo study of this quantum critical point for a two-dimensional lattice model wit...
