• Abstract: We show that Hilbert-space holonomy provides a geometric organizing principle for spectral reality in fragmented non-Hermitian many-body systems, complementary to conventional symmetry protection. In two minimal fragmented models, complex spectra can arise only within the most symmetric sectors: half filling in the fermion model and zero magnetization in the spin chain. Adding or removing a single particle, or flipping a single spin, renders the spectra entirely real despite unchanged periodic boundary conditions, reminiscent of boundary-condition sensitivity in systems with a non-Hermitian skin effect. We explain this by viewing nonreciprocal hopping amplitudes as a discrete gauge field on the Krylov graph: trivial holonomy permits a diagonal similarity transformation to the Hermitian limit, whereas nontrivial holonomy obstructs it and allows complex spectra. In certain regimes, trivial holonomy admits an emergent-boundary interpretation, and longer-range models exhibit finite real and complex regions governed by the same criterion.

  We show that constraints imposed by strong Hilbert space fragmentation along with the presence of certain global symmetries can ensure the reality of eigenspectra of non-Hermitian quantum systems. We demonstrate this insight for two interacting finite chains, namely the fermionic Nelson-Hatano and the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger models.

• Real spectra in non-Hermitian topological insulators [0.0]
  We show that symmetry protection enables entirely real spectra for both bulk and edges even in non-Hermitian topological insulators. In particular, we demonstrate entirely real spectra without non-Hermitian skin effects due to a combination of pseudo-Hermiticity and Kramers degeneracy.
