Using density matrix renormalization group simulations on open chains, we map out the wave vector in the incommensurate disordered phase of a realistic model of Rydberg chains with 1/r6 interactions, and we locate and characterize the points along the commensurate lines where the transition out of the period 3 and 4 phases is conformal. We confirm that it is three-state Potts for the period-3 phase, and we show that it is Ashkin-Teller with v similar or equal to 0.80 for the period-4 phase. We further show that close to these points, the transition is still continuous, but with a completely different scaling of the wave vector, in agreement with a chiral transition. Finally, we propose to use the conformal points as benchmarks for Kibble-Zurek experiments, defining a roadmap towards a conclusive identification of the chiral universality class.
