Hierarchy of quasisymmetries and degeneracies in the CoSi family of chiral crystal materials

Philip Johannes Walter Moll, Yi-Chiang Sun, Chunyu Guo

In materials, certain approximated symmetry operations can exist in a lower-order approximation of the effective model but are good enough to influence the physical responses of the system, and these approximated symmetries were recently dubbed "quasisymme ...
