Title:	"Scaling in the Fan of an Unconventional Quantum Critical Point" and "From an antiferromagnet to a Valence Bond Solid: Evidence for a First order phase transition"
Speaker:	Kedar Damle
Abstract:	I will report on recent work of Melko and Kaul "Scaling in the Fan of an Unconventional Quantum Critical Point" [ Phys. Rev. Lett 100, 0117203(2008)] as well as the competing interpretation of very similar data offered by Jiang et. al. in "From an antiferromagnet to a Valence Bond Solid: Evidence for a First order phase transition" [ F-J Jiang,et al. J. Stat. Mech. (2008) P02009, arXiv:cond-mat]
