      abstract     = {The kagome lattice is an exciting solid state physics
                      platform for the emergence of nontrivial quantum states
                      driven by electronic correlations: topological effects,
                      unconventional superconductivity, charge and spin density
                      waves, and unusual magnetic states such as quantum spin
                      liquids. While kagome lattices have been realized in complex
                      multi-atomic bulk compounds, here we demonstrate from
                      first-principles a process that we dub kagomerization, in
                      which we fabricate a two-dimensional kagome lattice in
                      monolayers of transition metals utilizing an hexagonal boron
                      nitride (h-BN) overlayer. Surprisingly, h-BN induces a large
                      rearrangement of the transition metal atoms supported on a
                      fcc(111) heavy-metal surface. This reconstruction is found
                      to be rather generic for this type of heterostructures and
                      has a profound impact on the underlying magnetic properties,
                      ultimately stabilizing various topological magnetic solitons
                      such as skyrmions and bimerons. Our findings call for a
                      reconsideration of h-BN as merely a passive capping layer,
                      showing its potential for not only reconstructing the atomic
                      structure of the underlying material, e.g. through the
                      kagomerization of magnetic films, but also enabling
                      electronic and magnetic phases that are highly sought for
                      the next generation of device technologies.},
