Abstract: We propose a non-Hermitian topological system protected by the generalized rotational symmetry which invokes rotation in space and Hermitian conjugation. The system, described by the tight-binding model with nonreciprocal hopping, is found to host two pairs of in-gap edge modes in the gapped topological phase and is characterized by the non-Hermitian (NH) Chern number $C_{NH}=2$. The quantization of the non-Hermitian Chern number is shown to be protected by the generalized rotational symmetry $\^H^{+}=\^U\^H\^U^{+}$ of the system. Our finding paves the way towards novel non-Hermitian topological systems characterized by large values of topological invariants and hosting multiple in-gap edge states, which can be used for topologically resilient multiplexing.

Topological Order in the Spectral Riemann Surfaces of Non-Hermitian Systems [44.99833362998488]
We show topologically ordered states in the complex-valued spectra of non-Hermitian systems. These arise when the distinctive exceptional points in the energy surfaces of such models are annihilated. We illustrate the characteristics of the topologically protected states in a non-Hermitian two-band model.

Three perspectives on entropy dynamics in a non-Hermitian two-state system [41.94295877935867]
entropy dynamics as an indicator of physical behavior in an open two-state system with balanced gain and loss is presented. We distinguish the perspective taken in utilizing the conventional framework of Hermitian-adjoint states from an approach that is based on biorthogonal-adjoint states and a third case based on an isospectral mapping.

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.

Topological Invariant for Multi-Band Non-hermitian Systems with Chiral Symmetry [1.1172382217477128]
A one-dimensional topological invariant defined on a generalized Brillion zone(GBZ) was recently found to successfully describe the topological property of the two-band Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model. We show in this letter by exact proof and detailed demonstration that to acquire the topological invariant for multi-band non-hermitian models with chiral symmetry, the GBZ as the integral domain should be replaced by a more generalized closed loop.

We study topological properties of the one-dimensional Creutz ladder model with different non-Hermitian asymmetric hoppings and on-site imaginary potentials. The non-Hermitian skin effect (NHSE) emerges in the system only when the non-Hermiticity induces certain unbalanced non-reciprocity along the ladder.
