The currently accepted magnetic ground state of ${\mathrm{Sr}}_{2}{\mathrm{IrO}}_{4}$ (the $\ensuremath{-}++\ensuremath{-}$ state) preserves inversion symmetry. This is at odds, though, with recent experiments that indicate a magnetoelectric ground state, leading to the speculation that orbital currents or more exotic magnetic multipoles might exist in this material. Here, we analyze various magnetic …
