AB  - We study a 3-dimensional SU(2) gauge theory with 4 Higgs fields which transform under the adjointrepresentation of the gauge group, that has been recently proposed by Sachdev et al. to explain thephysics of cuprate superconductors near optimal doping. The symmetric confining phase of thetheory corresponds to the usual Fermi-liquid phase while the broken (Higgs) phase is associatedwith the interesting pseudogap phase of cuprates. We employ the Hybrid Monte-Carlo algorithmto study the phase diagram of the theory. We find the existence of a variety of broken phases inqualitative accordance with earlier mean-field predictions and discuss their role in cuprates. Inaddition, we investigate the behavior of Polyakov loop to probe the confinement/deconfinementphase transition, and find that the Higgs phase hosts a stable deconfining phase consistent withprevious studies.
