Exciting such field topologies relies on selection rules related to various conserved quantities. Unfortunately, existing algebraic rules focus primarily on scalar singularities in nano\u2010optical (e.g., plasmonic) systems and largely neglect the vectorial nature of the fields. More critically, these rules remain phenomenological. Given the intrinsic link between conserved quantities and symmetries, here we establish a unified selection rule using group theory that govern the excitations of nontrivial field topologies across three photonic spin states in generic nanophotonic systems. This rule can act as building blocks for constructing selection rules for exciting and engineering higher\u2010dimensional field topologies (embedded within vectorial singularities and quasiparticles). These rules are derived purely from symmetry arguments and are therefore rooted in first principles. The proposed rules further predict two novel physical effects in plasmonic systems: spin\u2010orbit splitting of vortices and multidimensional nested vortices. Phase\u2010resolved in\u2010situ measurements of nested multidimensional plasmonic topologies well demonstrate our findings. Our group\u2010theory\u2010based approach can serve as a versatile framework for engineering symmetry\u2010 and singularity\u2010related phenomena\u2014like circular meron lattices and plasmonic quasicrystals\u2014in diverse wave systems.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/advs.77043","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,10]],"date-time":"2026-08-10T14:36:51Z","timestamp":1786372611000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Symmetry\u2010Imposed Selection Rules for Excitations of Nontrivial Plasmonic Topologies"],"prefix":"10.1002","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4383-4745","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jie","family":"Yang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Shaanxi Key Laboratory of Artificially\u2010Structured Functional Materials and Devices  Xi'an China"},{"name":"Changchun Institute of Optics Fine Mechanics and Physics Chinese Academy of Sciences  Changchun China"},{"name":"WaveCoRE research group KU Leuven  Leuven Belgium"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pengyi","family":"Feng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Precision Measurement Technology and Instruments Department of Precision Instrument Tsinghua University  Beijing China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fei","family":"Han","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Quantum Solid\u2010State Physics Department of Physics and Astronomy KU Leuven  Leuven Belgium"},{"name":"IMEC  Leuven Belgium"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Weijin","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering National University of Singapore  Singapore Singapore"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhongwei","family":"Jin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Optical and Electronic Technology China Jiliang University  Hangzhou China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9308-4511","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jincheng","family":"Ni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering National University of Singapore  Singapore Singapore"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5901-2872","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yuanjie","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Physics University of Electronic Science and Technology of China  Chengdu China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anxue","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Xi'an Jiaotong University  Xi'an Shaanxi China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5878-3285","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Guy A.
