In this talk, I motivate our description of band-structure nodes based on homotopy theory, and demonstrate its power on several simple examples. Afterwards, I clarify the meaning of the non-Abelian charge arising in PT-symmetric systems, and show how it constraints nodal compositions in a simple metal, namely elemental scandium (Sc) under strain. Our predictions could be experimentally tested in photoemission experiments.
