• Authors: Tsuneya Yoshida and Yasuhiro Hatsugai
• 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 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.

  Relative representations are an established approach to zero-shot model stitching. We introduce a normalization procedure in the relative transformation, resulting in invariance to non-isotropic rescalings and permutations. Second, we propose to deploy topological densification when fine-tuning relative representations, a topological regularization loss encouraging clustering within classes.

  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.

• Symmetry protected exceptional points of interacting fermions [0.0]
  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.

  We analyze a zero-dimensional correlated system with special emphasis on the non-Hermitian point-gap topology protected by chiral symmetry. Our analysis elucidates that correlations destroy an exceptional point on a topological transition point which separates two topological phases in the non-interacting case. We also discover a Mott exceptional point, an exceptional point where only spin degrees of freedom are involved.
