Fermion-sign-free Majarana-quantum-Monte-Carlo studies of quantum critical phenomena of Dirac fermions in two dimensions

Quantum critical phenomena may be qualitatively different when massless Dirac fermions are present at criticality. Using our recently-discovered fermion-sign-free Majorana quantum Monte Carlo (MQMC) method introduced by us in Ref. [1], we investigate the quantum critical phenomena of {\it spinless} Dirac fermions at their charge-density-wave (CDW) phase transitions on the honeycomb lattice having $N_s=2L^2$ sites with largest $L=24$. By finite-size scaling, we accurately obtain critical exponents of this so-called Gross-Neveu chiral-Ising universality class of {\it two} (two-component) Dirac fermions in 2+1D: $\eta =0.45(2)$, $\nu =0.77(3)$, and $\beta =0.60(3)$, which are qualitatively different from the mean-field results but are reasonably close to the ones obtained from renormalization group calculations.
