Let's think of a Hamiltonian system with a parameter space of dimension three - for example, it can be either the electronic band structure of a crystal or the Hamiltonian of two electrons in a double quantum dot depending on an external magnetic field. The generic degeneracy points of such systems are the Weyl points. For small perturbations the Weyl points are robust, while a non-generic twofold degeneracy point splits into Weyl points. What is the possible number of the Weyl points born from a non-generic degeneracy point? We show a strict upper bound for this number. https://arxiv.org/abs/2202.05825
