In quantum critical heavy fermion systems, local moments are coupled to both collective spin fluctuations and conduction electrons. As such, the Bose-Fermi Anderson model, describing the coupling of a local moment to both a bosonic and a fermionic bath, has been of extensive interest. For the model in the presence of SU(2) spin rotational symmetry, questions have been raised about its phase diagram. Here we develop a version of continuous-time quantum Monte Carlo (CT-QMC) method suitable for addressing this issue; this procedure can reach sufficiently low temperatures while preserving the SU(2) symmetry. Using this method for the Bose-Fermi Anderson model, we clarify the renormalization-group fixed points and the phase diagram for the case with a constant fermionic-bath density of states and a power-law bosonic-bath spectral function rho(b)(omega) proportional to omega(s) (0 < s < 1). Importantly, we find that two types of Kondo destruction quantum critical point (QCP) can arise in a single model. They are distinguished by the nature of the Kondo destroyed state: The local spin correlation either decays in imaginary time as a power law or remains a constant in the long-time limit. Specifically, for the model with s* < s < 1, both types of QCPs exist and, in the parameter regime accessible by an analytical epsilon-expansion renormalization-group calculation (here epsilon = 1 - s), the CT-QMC result is fully consistent with prior predictions by the latter method. For s < s*, there is only one type of QCP. At both types of Kondo destruction QCPs, we find that the exponent of the local spin susceptibility. obeys the relation eta = epsilon, which has important implications for Kondo destruction QCP in the Kondo lattice problem.
