We report preliminary results on the finite temperature behavior of SU(4) gauge theory with dynamical quarks in both the fundamental and two-index antisymmetric representations. This system is a candidate to present scale separation behavior, where fermions in different representations condense at different temperature or coupling scales. Our simulations, however, reveal a single finite-temperature phase transition at which both representations deconfine and exhibit chiral restoration. It appears to be strongly first order. We compare our results to previous single-representation simulations. We also describe a Pisarski-Wilczek stability analysis, which suggests that the transition should be first order.

The phase diagram of the classical anisotropic (XXZ) Heisenberg model on the two-dimensional triangular lattice is investigated using Monte Carlo methods. In the easy-axis limit, two finite-temperature vortex-unbinding transitions have been observed. In the easy-plane limit, there also appear to be two distinct finite-temperature phase transitions that are very close in temperature. The upper transition corresponds to an Ising-like chirality ordering and the lower temperature transition corresponds to a Kosterlitz–Thouless vortex-unbinding transition. These phase-transition lines all meet at the Heisenberg point and provide strong evidence that the isotropic model undergoes a novel finite-temperature phase transition. PACS Nos.: 75.10Hk, 75.40Mg
