+We can also connect our results to the large body of work concerning various multipolar
+orders as candidate states for HO (e.g. refs.~\cite{Haule_2009,Ohkawa_1999,Santini_1994,Kiss_2005,Kung_2015,Kusunose_2011_On}).
+Physically, our phenomenological order parameter could correspond to $\Bog$\ multipolar
+ordering originating from the localized component of the U-5f electrons. For the crystal
+field states of \urusi, this could correspond either to electric quadropolar or
+hexadecapolar order based on the available multipolar operators \cite{Kusunose_2011_On}.
