contents Multipole degrees of freedom describe the mutual interplay among the charge, spin, and orbital degrees of freedom in electrons, which provides a microscopic understanding of unconventional electronic orderings and their associated physical phenomena. We here show the symmetry rules on multipole interactions under crystallographic point groups in a systematic manner. Depending on the bond symmetries, we show the necessary symmetry conditions of the antisymmetric multipole interactions, which correspond to the extension of the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction, as well as the symmetric ones, which correspond to the extension of the compasslike interaction. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the symmetry-allowed multipole interactions can become a source of exotic multiple-$Q$ multipole orderings. As a specific example, we analyze the effective model with the antisymmetric quadrupole interaction on a triangular lattice and show the emergence of the triple-$Q$ quadrupole state. Our results indicate that multipole interactions that often arise from the heavy-fermion, frustrated, and nematic systems can potentially induce further unconventional quantum states of matter.
