Topological states, first known as quantum Hall effect or Chern insulating crystal, have been generalized to many classical wave systems where potential applications such as robust waveguiding, quantum computing and high-performance lasers…

We develop the topological band theory for systems described by non-Hermitian Hamiltonians, whose energy spectra are generally complex. After generalizing the notion of gapped band structures to the non-Hermitian case, we classify "gapped"…
