Detecting crystal symmetry fractionalization from the ground state: Application to Z[subscript 2] spin liquids on the kagome lattice

In quantum spin liquid states, the fractionalized spinon excitations can carry fractional crystal symmetry quantum numbers, and this symmetry fractionalization distinguishes different symmetry-enriched spin liquid states with identical intrinsic topological order. In this work we propose a simple wa...
