- Abstract: Nonlinearities in lattices with topologically nontrivial band structures can
give rise to topological solitons, whose properties differ from both
conventional lattice solitons and linear topological boundary states. We show
that a Su-Schrieffer-Heeger-type lattice with both nonlinearity and
nonreciprocal non-Hermiticity hosts a novel oscillatory soliton, which we call
a topological end breather. The end breather is strongly localized to a
self-induced topological domain near the end of the lattice, in sharp contrast
to the extended topological solitons previously found in one-dimensional
lattices. Its stable oscillatory dynamics can be interpreted as a Rabi
oscillation between two self-induced topological boundary states, emerging from
a combination of chiral lattice symmetry and the non-Hermitian skin effect.
This demonstrates that non-Hermitian effects can give rise to a wider variety
of topological solitons than was previously known to exist.

We show the emergence of unconventional, non-reciprocal, long-range dissipative couplings induced by the interaction of the bosonic chain with a chiral, multi-mode channel.
We also show how these couplings can also stabilize topological amplifying phases in the presence of local parametric drivings.

We show the presence of a topological phase transition that is of a different universality class than that observed in stroboscopic projective circuits.
We find that this entanglement transition is well identified by a combination of the bipartite entanglement entropy and the topological entanglement entropy.

We argue that all non-chiral fermionic topological phases in 2+1D are characterized by a set of tensors $(Nij_k,Fij_k,Fijm,alphabeta_kln,chidelta,n_i,d_i)$.
Several examples with q-type anyon excitations are discussed, including the Fermionic topological phase from Tambara-gami category for $mathbbZ_2N$.

Non-Hermitian lattices sustain an extensive number of exponentially-localized states, dubbed non-Hermitian skin modes.
Such states can be predicted from the nontrivial topology of the energy spectrum under periodic boundary conditions.
In any realistic system with a finite lattice size most of skin edge states collapse and become metastable states.

Coalescence of eigenstates eliminates the geometric multiplicity of the Hamiltonian and puts the remaining bands on a topological background.
We find several distinct phenomena in these systems: a single band topological model, a two-band Chern insulator in which the topological number of the low band does not compensate to that of the up band, a topologically protected boundary state that is less damping when stronger dissipative forces are subjected and topologically protected in-gap extended states.

The nonreciprocal hopping (the gain-and-loss effect) can enlarge (reduce) the topological regions.
The topological Anderson insulators induced by disorders can exist under both kinds of non-Hermiticities.
