Altermagnets and antialtermagnets are unconventional magnetic phases with compensated magnetization and nonrelativistic spin splitting in their electronic band structures. In altermagnets, this spin splitting has even parity, whereas in antialtermagnets it has odd parity. In this talk we go beyond electrons and demonstrate that magnons, the collective spin excitations of magnetically long-range ordered systems, inherently feature an odd-parity spin polarization in antialtermagnets without spin-orbit or dipolar coupling. We present minimal model spin Hamiltonians free of spin-orbit coupling that stabilize antialtermagnetic ground states, discuss their symmetries, and characterize the spin-polarized magnon band structures.
