• Abstract: We propose an anti-parity-time (anti-PT ) symmetric non-Hermitian Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model, where the large non-Hermiticity constructively creates nontrivial topology and greatly expands the topological phase. In the anti-PT -symmetric SSH model, the gain and loss are alternatively arranged in pairs under the inversion symmetry. The appearance of degenerate point at the center of the Brillouin zone determines the topological phase transition, while the exceptional points unaffect the band topology. The large non-Hermiticity leads to unbalanced wavefunction distribution in the broken anti-PT -symmetric phase and induces the nontrivial topology. Our findings can be verified through introducing dissipations in every another two sites of the standard SSH model even in its trivial phase, where the nontrivial topology is solely induced by the dissipations.

  We show a frustration-free lattice model exhibiting SSB of a non-onsite symmetry. We analytically prove the two-fold ground-state degeneracy and the existence of a finite energy gap. Our work reveals the exotic features of SSB of non-onsite symmetries, which may lie beyond the framework of topological holography.

• Anomalous dynamical response of non-Hermitian topological phases [1.96076686350775]
  Composite topological phases with intriguing topology like M$"o$bius strips emerge in sublattice symmetric non-Hermitian systems. We study the dynamical response of these phases by studying Loschmidt echo from an initial state of the Hermitian Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model. The last feature is a dynamical signature of different symmetry constraints on the real and imaginary parts of the complex bands in the M$"o$bius phase.

• Topological characterization of special edge modes from the winding of relative phase [0.0]
  Inversion or chiral symmetry broken SSH model is an example of a system where one-sided edge state with finite energy appears at one end of the open chain. We introduce a concept of relative phase between the components of a two-component spinor and define a winding number by the change of this relative phase over the one-dimensional Brillouin zone. We extend this analysis to a two dimensional case where we characterize the non-trivial phase, hosting gapped one-sided edge mode, by the winding in relative phase only along a certain axis in the Brillouin zone.

  Inherent symmetry of a quantum system may protect its otherwise fragile states. We implement the one-dimensional kicked Ising model which exhibits non-local Majorana edge modes (MEMs) with $mathbbZ$ parity symmetry. MEMs are found to be resilient against certain symmetry-breaking noise owing to a prethermalization mechanism.

  We show that spontaneous PT-symmetry breaking leads to the Ion Temperature Gradient (ITG) instability of drift waves, and the collisional instability is the result of explicit PT-symmetry breaking. It is also found that gradients of ion temperature and density can destabilize the ion cyclotron waves when PT symmetry is explicitly broken by a finite collisionality.
