The spectrum of critical exponents of the $N$--vector model in $4-\eps$~dimensions is investigated to the second order in~$\eps$. A generic class of one--loop degeneracies that has been reported in a previous work is lifted in two--loop…

We explore the existence and stability of exceptional points (EPs) in finite waveguide arrays subject to single-site dissipation. We show that the EP landscape is dictated by a geometry-dependent parity effect, leading to strictly distinct…

Exceptional points (EPs), singularities in non-Hermitian systems where eigenvalues and eigenstates coalesce, exhibit a dramatically enhanced response to perturbations compared to Hermitian degeneracies. This makes them exceptional…

The topological entropy of a continuous self-map of a compact metric space can be defined in several distinct ways; when the space is not assumed compact, these definitions can lead to distinct invariants. The original, purely topological…

The classification of electron systems according to their topology has been at the forefront of condensed matter research in recent years. It has been found that systems of the same symmetry, previously thought of as equivalent, may in fact…

Exceptional points (EPs) are special singularities of non-Hermitian Hamiltonians. At an EP, two or more eigenvalues and the corresponding eigenstates coalesce. Recently, EP-based optical gyroscope near an EP was extensively investigated to…

Several works have recently addressed the emergence of exceptional points (EPs), i.e., spectral singularities of non-Hermitian Hamiltonians, in the long-wavelength dynamics of coupled magnetic systems. Here, by focusing on the driven…

This work introduces a new class of robust states known as Exceptional Boundary (EB) states, which are distinct from the well-known topological and non-Hermitian skin boundary states. EB states occur in the presence of exceptional points,…

Recently a type of robust exceptional points was found that is insensitive to the coupling disorder in the bulk. Here we show that a disparity emerges when the number of coupled cavities in this one-dimensional array changes from even to…

Let $M^m$ be an oriented manifold, let $N^{m-1}$ be an oriented closed manifold, and let $p$ be a point in $M^m$. For a smooth map $f:N^{m-1} \to M^m, p \not\in Im f,$ we introduce an invariant $awin_p(f)$ that can be regarded as a…
