In some non-Hermitian systems, the eigenstates in the bulk are localized at the boundaries of the systems. This is called the non-Hermitian skin effect, and it has been studied mostly in discrete systems. In the present work, we study the…

We show that anyonic statistics fundamentally reshapes non-Hermitian many-body physics by intrinsically breaking pseudo-Hermiticity, leading to a unique real-complex spectral transition with characteristically dense states in Im$E$. This…
