Symmetry enriched U(1) quantum spin liquids

We classify and characterize three-dimensional U(1) quantum spin liquids [deconfined U(1) gauge theories] with global symmetries. These spin liquids have an emergent gapless photon and emergent electric/magnetic excitations (which we assume are gapped). We first discuss in great detail the case with...
