Abstract

We present the first systematic study of the filling constraints to realize a `trivial' insulator symmetric under magnetic space group M\mathcal{M}. The filling ν\nu must be an integer multiple of mMm^{\mathcal{M}} to avoid spontaneous symmetry breaking or fractionalization in gapped phases. We improve the value of mMm^{\mathcal{M}} in the literature and prove the tightness of the constraint for the majority of magnetic space groups. The result may shed light on the material search of exotic magnets with fractionalization.
