Filling constraints extend to interacting spin-orbit coupled insulators

Watanabe, Po, Vishwanath and Zaletel derived electron-filling constraints for symmetry-preserving, gapped, short-range-entangled insulators while allowing spin-orbit coupling and charge fluctuations. A Schmidt-state argument uses charge conservation and time reversal rather than conserved spin. A second approach places the system on suitable compact flat geometries to strengthen the constraints. Together these methods give necessary filling conditions for all230three-dimensional space groups, with stronger restrictions for non-symmorphic groups.

Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.

Scientific scope

The electrons carry Kramers time reversal, with charge and the specified crystal symmetries preserved. The compact-geometry argument uses the principle that a short-range-entangled phase has a unique ground state on sufficiently large, locally identical flat geometries, with consistent spin or Pin boundary identifications. The paper establishes sharp bounds for most groups but leaves ten groups with an unresolved interacting-versus-band-insulator gap. Constraints for fixed localized spins cannot automatically be transferred to mobile electrons, and proposed material applications assume exact clean-system symmetries.
