| contents | In some insulators, corner charges are fractionally quantized, due to the topological invariant called a filling anomaly. The previous theories of fractional corner charges have been mostly limited to two-dimensional systems. In three dimensions, only limited cases have been studied. In this study, we derive formulas for the filling anomaly and the corner charge in various crystals with all the tetrahedral and cubic space groups. We discuss that the quantized corner charge requires the crystal shapes to be vertex-transitive polyhedra. We show that the formula of the filling anomaly is universally given by the difference between electronic and ionic charges at the Wyckoff position 1a. The fractional corner charges appear by equally distributing the filling anomaly to all the corners of the crystal. We also derive the k-space formulas for the fractional corner charge. In some cases, the corner charge is not determined solely from the irreps at high-symmetry k-points. In such cases, we introduce a new Z2 topological invariant to determine the corner charge. |
