93. A more precise definition of quantum order is given in Ref. 11.
94. Landau’s theory may not even be able to describe all the classical orders. Some classical phase transitions, such as the Kosterliz-Thouless transition, do not change any symmetries.
95. In this paper we will distinguish the invariance of an Ansatz and the symmetry of an Ansatz. We say an Ansatz has a translation invariance when the Ansatz itself does not change under translation. We say an Ansatz has a translation symmetry when the physical spin wave function obtained from the Ansatz has a translation symmetry.
96. In his unpublished study of quantum antiferromagnetism with a symmetry group of large rank, Wiegmenn (Ref. 92) constructed a gauge theory which realizes a double-valued magnetic space group. The double-valued magnetic space group extends the space group and is a special case of the protective symmetry group.
97. We need to integrate out the phase of the φ field to get a gauge-invariant result.
