Title: Exceptional points in SSH-like models with hopping amplitude gradient
Authors: David S. Simon, Christopher R. Schwarze, Abdoulaye Ndao, Alexander V. Sergienko,
Abstract summary: Recent interest in exceptional points has led to re-examination of non-Hermitian generalizations of many physical models. In such non-Hermitian systems, singular points called exceptional points (EPs) appear that are of interest for applications in super-resolution sensing systems and topological lasers. It is found that while the existence of the EPs is due to the nonreciprocal couplings, the number, position, and order of the EPs can all be altered by the addition of the hopping amplitude gradient.

Abstract: The Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) system is a popular model for exploring topological insulators and topological phases in one dimension. Recent interest in exceptional points has led to re-examination of non-Hermitian generalizations of many physical models, including the SSH model. In such non-Hermitian systems, singular points called exceptional points (EPs) appear that are of interest for applications in super-resolution sensing systems and topological lasers. Here, a non-Hermitian and non-PT-symmetric variation of the SSH model is introduced, in which the hopping amplitudes are non-reciprocal and vary monotonically along the chain. It is found that, while the existence of the EPs is due to the nonreciprocal couplings, the number, position, and order of the EPs can all be altered by the addition of the hopping amplitude gradient, adding a new tool for tailoring the spectrum of a non-Hermitian system.

Exceptional Points and Stability in Nonlinear Models of Population Dynamics having $\mathcal{PT}$ symmetry [49.1574468325115]
We analyze models governed by the replicator equation of evolutionary game theory and related Lotka-Volterra systems of population dynamics. We study the emergence of exceptional points in two cases: (a) when the governing symmetry properties are tied to global properties of the models, and (b) when these symmetries emerge locally around stationary states.

Anomalous dynamical response of non-Hermitian topological phases [1.96076686350775]
Composite topological phases with intriguing topology like M$"o$bius strips emerge in sublattice symmetric non-Hermitian systems. We study the dynamical response of these phases by studying Loschmidt echo from an initial state of the Hermitian Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model. The last feature is a dynamical signature of different symmetry constraints on the real and imaginary parts of the complex bands in the M$"o$bius phase.

Latent Su-Schrieffer-Heeger models [0.0]
Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) chain is the reference model of a one-dimensional topological insulator. Here, we harness recent graph-theoretical results to construct families of setups whose unit cell features neither of these symmetries. This causes the isospectral reduction -- akin to an effective Hamiltonian -- of the resulting lattice to have the form of an SSH model.

We show that the large non-Hermiticity constructively creates nontrivial topology and greatly expands the topological phase. Our findings can be verified through introducing dissipations in every another two sites of the standard SSH model even in its trivial phase.
