We show that the static structure factor of general many-body systems with $U(1)$ symmetry has a lower bound determined only by the ground state Chern number. Our bound relies only on causality and non-negative energy dissipation, and holds for a wide range of systems. We apply our theory to (fractional) Chern insulators, (fractional) quantum spin Hall insulators, topological superconductors, and chiral spin liquids. Our results uncover a universal feature of topological phases beyond the quantized response.

Optical Hall absorption sum rule and spectral compensation in time-reversal-breaking moir\'e and Hofstadter systems
A first-frequency-moment constraint on antisymmetric optical conductivity vanishes exactly in zero-field moiré continuum models and equals a magnetic-flux-determined constant in Hofstadter models, implying spectral co...
