URu2Si2 presents superconductivity at temperatures below 1.5 K, and a hidden order (HO) at about 17.5 K, both electronic phenomena are in uenced by Fano and Kondo resonances. At 17.5 K the HO was related in the past to a Peierls distortion…

Motivated by the recent discovery of broken four-fold symmetry in the hidden order phase of URu$_2$Si$_2$[R. Okazaki et al., Science {\bf 331}, 439 (2011)], we examine a scenario of a spin nematic state as a possible candidate of the hidden…
