Recent thermal conductivity measurements on \(\mathrm{Sr_2 Ru O_4}\) [E. Hassinger et al., Phys. Rev. X 7, 011032 (2017)] were interpreted as favoring a pairing gap function with vertical line nodes while conflicting with chiral \(p\)-wave pairing. Motivated by this work we study the effects of deep...
