dc.subject	Employing a tight binding description of graphene, we start by reviewing the emergent Dirac theory with its corresponding mass terms, and the possibility of inducing a semimetal to insulator phase transition by applying strain to its lattice structure. The discussion is then generalized to systems on the kagomé lattice, for which we explicitly determine all the gap-opening mass terms with their corresponding symmetry classification.
