Biorthogonal Bulk-Boundary Correspondence in Non-Hermitian Systems
read the original abstract
Non-Hermitian systems exhibit striking exceptions from the paradigmatic bulk-boundary correspondence, including the failure of bulk Bloch band invariants in predicting boundary states and the (dis)appearance of boundary states at parameter values far from those corresponding to gap closings in periodic systems without boundaries. Here, we provide a comprehensive framework to unravel this disparity based on the notion of biorthogonal quantum mechanics: While the properties of the left and right eigenstates corresponding to boundary modes are individually decoupled from the bulk physics in non-Hermitian systems, their combined biorthogonal density penetrates the bulk precisely when phase transitions occur. This leads to generalized bulk-boundary correspondence and a quantized biorthogonal polarization that is formulated directly in systems with open boundaries. We illustrate our general insights by deriving the phase diagram for several microscopic open boundary models, including exactly solvable non-Hermitian extensions of the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model and Chern insulators.

A real-space exceptional ring mediates an eigenframe-charge transition in a non-Hermitian skyrmion
Non-Hermitian skyrmions carry two topological charges that coincide in the Hermitian limit but one breaks down at exceptional points where the biorthogonal Bloch field diverges.

A real-space exceptional ring mediates an eigenframe-charge transition in a non-Hermitian skyrmion
Non-Hermitian skyrmions split into a homotopy-protected right-state charge and a biorthogonal charge that loses quantization at an equatorial exceptional ring when gain/loss reaches the texture scale.

A real-space exceptional ring mediates an eigenframe-charge transition in a non-Hermitian skyrmion
In a non-Hermitian skyrmion, the right-state charge is homotopy-protected while the biorthogonal charge loses quantization at a real-space exceptional ring on the equator.

Spectral topology and edge modes for one-dimensional non-Hermitian photonic crystals
For 1D non-Hermitian photonic crystals, a transfer-matrix eigenvalue count is proven equivalent to the spectral winding number and determines the side on which edge modes localize.
