- Abstract summary: In this paper, we address interaction effects on exceptional points which are protected by the non-trivial point-gap topology.
Our analysis in a two-dimensional parameter space elucidates the existence of exceptional points and symmetry-protected exceptional rings fragile against interactions.
The results strongly suggest similar reduction phenomena of exceptional points in generic cases and open up a new direction of research in the non-Hermitian topology.

- Abstract: Despite recent extensive studies of the non-Hermitian topology, understanding
interaction effects is left as a crucial question. In this paper, we address
interaction effects on exceptional points which are protected by the
non-trivial point-gap topology unique to non-Hermitian systems. Our analysis in
a two-dimensional parameter space elucidates the existence of exceptional
points and symmetry-protected exceptional rings fragile against interactions;
they are topologically protected only in non-interacting cases. This fragility
of exceptional points and symmetry-protected exceptional rings arises from the
reduction of non-Hermitian topological classifications, which is elucidated by
introducing topological invariants of the second-quantized Hamiltonian for both
non-interacting and interacting cases. These topological invariants are also
available to analyze the reduction phenomena of gapped systems. The above
results strongly suggest similar reduction phenomena of exceptional points in
generic cases and open up a new direction of research in the non-Hermitian
topology.

We study Thouless pumps, i.e., adiabatic topological transport, in an interacting spin chain described by the dimerized XXZ Hamiltonian.
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 singularity.

Non-hermitian quantum systems can exhibit spectral degeneracies known as exceptional points, where two or more eigenvectors coalesce.
We investigate the fate of such symmetry protected exceptional points in the presence of a symmetry preserving interaction between fermions.
We also find that exceptional points can annihilate each other if they meet in parameter space with compatible many-body states forming a third order exceptional point at the endpoint.
