• Abstract: The bulk-boundary correspondence (BBC) relates in-gap boundary modes to bulk topological invariants. In certain non-Hermitian topological systems, conventional BBC becomes invalid in the presence of the non-Hermitian skin effect (NHSE), which manifests as distinct energy spectra under the periodic and open boundary conditions and massive eigenstate localization at boundaries. In this work, we introduce a scheme to induce NHSE without breaking conventional BBC, dubbed as the topologically compatible NHSE (TC-NHSE). In a general one dimensional two-band model, we unveil two types of TC-NHSE that do not alter topological phase transition points under any circumstance or only in a certain parameter regime, respectively. Extending our model into two dimension, we find that TC-NHSE can be selectively compatible to different sets of Weyl points between different bands of the resultant semimetallic system, turning some of them into bulk Fermi arcs while keeping the rest unchanged. Our work hence helps clarify the intricate interplay between topology and NHSE in non-Hermitian systems, and provides a versatile approach for designing non-Hermitian topological systems where topological properties and NHSE do not interfere each other.

• Symmetric non-Hermitian skin effect with emergent nonlocal correspondence [10.704938459679978]
  The non-Hermitian skin effect (NHSE) refers to that an extensive number of eigenstates of a non-Hermitian system are localized in open boundaries. Here we predict a universal phenomenon that with local particle-hole(-like) symmetry the skin modes must be equally distributed on different boundaries. We develop a generic theory for the emergent nonlocal symmetry-protected NHSE by connecting the non-Hermitian system to an extended Hermitian Hamiltonian in aruplicate Hilbert space.
