Popis: Using large-scale quantum Monte Carlo simulations, we determine the ground state phase diagram of the spin-1/2 antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model on the honeycomb lattice for the most generic case of three varying interaction strengths along the different lattice directions. We identify continuous quantum phase transition lines that separate the long-range ordered antiferromagnetic regime from three distinct quantum-disordered phases, each characterized by dominant dimer-singlet formations. The finite-size behavior along these phase transition lines exhibits anomalously large corrections to scaling, which we relate to similar recent findings in certain dimerized quantum spin systems and to singular one-dimensional limits in the model parameter space. We also comment more generally on the non-universality of critical cumulant ratios in anisotropic systems and attempts to restore universality by varying the aspect ratio.
