From Spinon Band Topology to the Symmetry Quantum Numbers of Monopoles in Dirac Spin Liquids

The interplay of symmetry and topology has been at the forefront of recent progress in quantum matter. Here, we uncover an unexpected connection between band topology and the description of competing orders in a quantum magnet. Specifically, we show that aspects of band topology protected by crystal...
