Recently it was argued that quantum phase transitions can be radically different from classical phase transitions with, as a highlight, the “deconfined critical points” exhibiting fractionalization of quantum numbers due to Berry phase effects. Such transitions are supposed to occur in frustrated (“J1-J2”) quantum magnets. We have developed a novel renormalization approach for such systems which is fully respecting the underlying lattice structure. According to our findings, another profound phenomenon is around the corner: a fluctuation-induced (order-out-of-disorder) first-order transition. This has to occur for large spin and we conjecture that it is responsible for the weakly first-order behavior recently observed in numerical simulations for frustrated S = 1/2 systems.
