- 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.

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.
