• Abstract: The role of nonlinearity on topology has been investigated extensively in Hermitian systems, while nonlinearity has only been used as a tuning knob in a PT symmetric non-Hermitian system. Here, in our work, we show that nonlinearity plays a crucial role in forming topological singularities of non-Hermitian systems. We provide a simple and intuitive example by demonstrating with both theory and circuit experiments an exceptional nexus (EX), a higher-order exceptional point with a hybrid topological invariant (HTI), within only two coupled resonators with the aid of nonlinear gain. Phase rigidities are constructed to confirm the HTI in our nonlinear system, and the anisotropic critical behavior of the eigenspectra is verified with experiments. Our findings lead to advances in the fundamental understanding of the peculiar topology of nonlinear non-Hermitian systems, possibly opening new avenues for applications.

  We analyze models governed by the replicator equation of evolutionary game theory and related Lotka-Volterra systems of population dynamics. We study the emergence of exceptional points in two cases: (a) when the governing symmetry properties are tied to global properties of the models, and (b) when these symmetries emerge locally around stationary states.

  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.

  This work explores the possibility of creating and controlling unconventional nonlinearities by periodic driving. By means of a parent quantum many-body description, we demonstrate that such driven systems are well captured by an effective NLSE. We analyze these intriguing properties both in the weakly-interacting (mean-field) regime, captured by the effective NLSE, and in the strongly-correlated quantum regime.

  Non-linear activation functions, e.g., Sigmoid, ReLU, and Tanh, have achieved great success in neural networks (NNs) Due to the complex non-linear characteristic of samples, the objective of those activation functions is to project samples from their original feature space to a linear separable feature space. This phenomenon ignites our interest in exploring whether all features need to be transformed by all non-linear functions in current typical NNs.
