abstract
Exceptional points (EPs) are truly non-Hermitian (NH) degeneracies where matrices become defective. The order of such an EP is given by the number of coalescing eigenvectors. On the one hand, most work focuses on studying $N$th-order EPs in $(N\leq4)$-dimensional NH Bloch Hamiltonians. On the other hand, some works have remarked on the existence of EPs of orders scaling with systems size in models exhibiting the NH skin effect. In this work, we introduce a new type of EP and provide a recipe on how to realize EPs of arbitrary order not scaling with system size. We introduce a generalized version of the paradigmatic Hatano-Nelson model with longer-range hoppings. The EPs existing in this system show remarkable physical features: Their associated eigenstates have support on a subset of sites and exhibit the NH skin effect, which can be tuned to localize on the opposite end of the chain compared to all remaining states. Furthermore, the EPs are robust against generic perturbations in the hopping strengths as well as against a specific form of on-site disorder.

Higher-order Liouvillian exceptional points in the dissipative dynamics of quadratic fermions
In exactly solvable quadratic fermionic dissipators with partial postselection, the Liouvillian hosts a Jordan block of size n+1; many-body jump perturbations open spectral gaps scaling as z^{1/(d+1)}.

Nonparametric learning of stochastic differential equations from sparse and noisy data
Non-Hermitian models built from a bipartite parent have p-th-root energy bands; with an SSH parent, their single-particle levels equal those of free parafermions.

Spectral-topology-induced criticality in non-Hermitian fermionic metals
A Morse-theoretic topological index defined on the imaginary part of non-Hermitian spectra is shown to count Fermi points and fix the effective central charge of the non-equilibrium steady state.

Super-enhanced Sensitivity in Non-Hermitian Systems at Infernal Points
At an infernal point, a boundary-coupling perturbation of strength ε splits the degenerate energies by ε^(1/L), with L the system size, and this sensitivity persists away from the exact infernal point.
