• Abstract: So far, topological band theory is discussed mainly for systems described by eigenvalue problems. Here, we develop a topological band theory described by a generalized eigenvalue problem (GEVP). Our analysis elucidates that non-Hermitian topological band structures may emerge for systems described by a GEVP with Hermitian matrices. The above result is verified by analyzing a two-dimensional toy model where symmetry-protected exceptional rings (SPERs) emerge although the matrices involved are Hermitian. Remarkably, these SPERs are protected by emergent symmetry, which is unique to the systems described by the GEVP. Furthermore, these SPERs elucidate the origin of the characteristic dispersion of hyperbolic metamaterials which is observed in experiments.

• Breaking and resurgence of symmetry in the non-Hermitian Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model in photonic waveguides [0.0]
  In symmetry-protected topological systems, symmetries are responsible for protecting surface states. By engineering losses that break the symmetry protecting a topological Hermitian phase, we show that a new genuinely non-Hermitian symmetry emerges. We classify the systems in terms of the (non-Hermitian) symmetries that are present and calculate the corresponding topological invariants.

  We analyze a practical algorithm for sparse PCA on incomplete and noisy data under a general non-random sampling scheme. We provide theoretical justification that under certain conditions, we can recover the support of the sparse leading eigenvector with high probability. We show that our algorithm outperforms several other sparse PCA approaches especially when the observed entries have good structural properties.
