abstract

The hidden order in URu$_2$Si$_2$ remains a compelling mystery after more than thirty years, with the order parameter still unidentified. One intriguing proposal for the phase has been hastatic order: a symmetry breaking heavy Fermi liquid with a spinorial hybridization that breaks both single and double time-reversal symmetry. Hastatic order is the first spinorial, rather than vectorial order in materials, but previous work has not yet found direct consequences of the spinorial nature. In this paper, we revisit the hastatic proposal within Landau-Ginzburg theory. Rather than a single spinorial order parameter breaking double-time-reversal symmetry, we find two gauge invariant vectorial orders: the expected composite order with on-site moments, and a new quantity capturing symmetries broken solely by the spinorial nature. We address the effect of fluctuations and disorder on the tetragonal symmetry breaking, explaining the absence of in-plane moments in URu$_2$Si$_2$ and predicting a new transition in transverse field.
