Two possible scenarios for the spin-polarized insulating state at half-filling: (A) The opposite spin band lies inside the gap of the pseudospin antiferromagnet (taken to be the K-IVC order here) or (B) the opposite spin band lies outside this gap. In both scenarios, doped electrons go into the upper K-IVC band. On the other hand, doped holes go into the opposite spin band for (A) but into the same spin K-IVC band for (B). We note here that for simplicity, we considered the case where flavor polarization corresponds to full spin polarization. Another possible flavor-polarized state would be the spin-valley locked state for which the same considerations apply.
