Itinerant magnetic multipole moments of rank five, triakontadipoles, as the hidden order in URu$_{2}$Si$_{2}$

A broken symmetry ground state without any magnetic moments has been calculated by means of local-density-approximation to density functional theory plus a local exchange term, the so-called LDA+$U$ approach, for URu$_{2}$Si$_{2}$. The solution is analysed in terms of a multipole tensor expansion of the itinerant density matrix and is found to be a non-trivial magnetic multipole. Analysis and further calculations show that this type of multipole enters naturally in time reversal breaking in presence of large effective spin-orbit coupling and co-exists with magnetic moments for most magnetic actinides
