• Abstract summary: Exceptional points (EPs) are degeneracy of non-Hermitian Hamiltonians, at which the eigenvalues, along with their eigenvectors, coalesce. We show that odd-order EPs can exist and exhibit enhanced sensitivity in the behaviour of eigenvector-coalescence.

• Abstract: Exceptional points (EPs) are degeneracy of non-Hermitian Hamiltonians, at which the eigenvalues, along with their eigenvectors, coalesce. Their orders are given by the Jordan decomposition. Here, we focus on higher-order EPs arising in fermionic systems with a sublattice symmetry, which restricts the eigenvalues of the Hamitlonian to appear in pairs of $\lbrace E, -E\rbrace $. Thus, a naive prediction might lead to only even-order EPs at zero energy. However, we show that odd-order EPs can exist and exhibit enhanced sensitivity in the behaviour of eigenvector-coalescence in their neighbourhood, depending on how we approach the degenerate point. The odd-order EPs can be understood as a mixture of higher- and lower-valued even-order EPs. Such an anomalous behaviour is related to the irregular topology of the EPs as the subspace of the Hamiltonians in question, which is a unique feature of the Jordan blocks. The enhanced eigenvector sensitivity can be described by observing how the quantum distance to the target eigenvector converges to zero. In order to capture the eigenvector-coalescence, we provide an algebraic method to describe the conditions for the existence of these EPs. This complements previous studies based on resultants and discriminants, and unveils heretofore unexplored structures of higher-order exceptional degeneracy.

We validate our theory with an empirical study of a collection of synthetic and real-world datasets.

• Eigenvalue sensitivity from eigenstate geometry near and beyond arbitrary-order exceptional points [0.0]
  Systems with an effectively non-Hermitian Hamiltonian display an enhanced sensitivity to parametric and dynamic perturbations. This sensitivity can be quantified by the phase rigidity, which mathematically corresponds to the eigenvalue condition number. I derive an exact nonperturbative expression for this sensitivity measure that applies to arbitrary eigenvalue configurations.

• Realizing exceptional points of any order in the presence of symmetry [0.0]
  Exceptional points(EPs) appear as degeneracies in the spectrum of non-Hermitian matrices. In general, an EP of order $n$ may find room to emerge if $2(n-1)$ real constraints are imposed. For two-, three- and four-band systems, we explicitly present the constraints needed for the occurrence of EPs in terms of system parameters.
