We perform a renormalization group analysis of some important effective field theoretic models for deconfined spinons. We show that deconfined spinons are critical for an isotropic SU(N) Heisenberg antiferromagnet, if N is large enough. We argue that nonperturbatively this result should persist down to N = 2 and provide further evidence for the so-called deconfined quantum criticality scenario. Deconfined spinons are also shown to be critical for the case describing a transition between quantum spin nematic and dimerized phases. On the other hand, the deconfined quantum criticality scenario is shown to fail for a class of easy-plane models. For the cases where deconfined quantum criticality occurs, we calculate the critical exponent eta for the decay of the two-spin correlation function to first-order in is an element of=4-d. We also note the scaling relation eta=d+2(1-phi/v) connecting the exponent eta for the decay to the correlation length exponent nu and the crossover exponent phi.
