• Authors: ChunChi Liu and LiuHao Li and Jin An
• Abstract summary: A one-dimensional topological invariant defined on a generalized Brillion zone(GBZ) was recently found to successfully describe the topological property of the two-band Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model. We show in this letter by exact proof and detailed demonstration that to acquire the topological invariant for multi-band non-hermitian models with chiral symmetry, the GBZ as the integral domain should be replaced by a more generalized closed loop.

• Abstract: Topology plays an important role in non-hermitian systems. How to characterize a non-hermitian topological system under open-boundary conditions(OBCs) is a challenging problem. A one-dimensional(1D) topological invariant defined on a generalized Brillion zone(GBZ) was recently found to successfully describe the topological property of the two-band Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model. But for a 1D multi-band chiral symmetric system under OBCs, it is still controversial how to define the topological invariant. We show in this letter by exact proof and detailed demonstration that to acquire the topological invariant for multi-band non-hermitian models with chiral symmetry, the GBZ as the integral domain should be replaced by a more generalized closed loop. Our work thus establishes the non-Bloch bulk-boundary correspondence for 1D multi-band chiral symmetric non-hermitian systems.

  We study the existence of topological edge zero- and pi-modes despite the lack of bulk gaps in the quasienergy spectrum. We numerically study the effect of interactions, which give a finite lifetime to the edge modes in the thermodynamic limit with the decay rate consistent with Fermi's Golden Rule.

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.

  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.
