• Abstract summary: We unveil the energy braiding of the non-Bloch bands by introducing a one-dimensional non-Hermitian tight-binding model. We find an entirely new generic class of topological non-Bloch bands such as Hopf link. We hope that our work can shed light on the topological energy braiding of the non-Bloch bands for non-Hermitian systems.

• Abstract: The non-Hermitian skin effect, as a unique feature of non-Hermitian systems, will break the topological energy braiding of the Bloch bands in open boundary systems. Going beyond the Bloch band theory, we unveil the energy braiding of the non-Bloch bands by introducing a one-dimensional non-Hermitian tight-binding model. We find an entirely new generic class of topological non-Bloch bands such as Hopf link, which is generally generated by the non-Hermitian skin effect. The energy braiding is topologically robust against any perturbations without gap closing. Furthermore, non-Bloch topological invariants are proposed based on the generalized Brillouin zone to characterize the topology of these non-Bloch bands. The topological phase transition between the distinct phases occurs with the non-Bloch bands touching at exceptional points. We hope that our work can shed light on the topological energy braiding of the non-Bloch bands for non-Hermitian systems.

  We identify the non-Bloch topological phase diagram of a one-dimensional (1D) non-Hermitian system without chiral symmetry. We find that such topological invariants can distinguish topologically distinct gapped phases. Our work provides a useful platform to study the interplay among topology, symmetries and the non-Hermiticity.

  In the noninteracting case, quantized Thouless pumps can only occur when a topological singularity is encircled adiabatically. In the presence of interactions, such topological transport can even persist for exotic paths in which the system gets arbitrarily close to the noninteracting singularity.

• Hermitian Topologies originating from non-Hermitian braidings [0.0]
  We show that the complex energy bands of non-Hermitian systems braid in momentum space even in one dimension. We derive an elegant identity that equates the linking number between the knots of braiding non-Hermitian bands and the zero-energy loop. We construct typical topological phases with non-Hermitian braidings, which can be readily realized by artificial crystals.

• The topological vacuum in exceptional Brillouin zone [0.0]
  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.

• Non-Bloch band collapse and chiral Zener tunneling [0.0]
  In two-band non-Hermitian lattices, it is shown here that collapse of non-Bloch bands and skin modes deeply changes the Bloch dynamics under an external force. For resonance forcing non-Bloch band collapse results in Wannier-Stark ladder coalescence and chiral Zener tunneling between the two dispersive Bloch bands.
