We consider the space of $n \times n$ non-Hermitian Hamiltonians ($n=2$, $3$, . . .) that are equivalent to a single $n\times n$ Jordan block. We focus on adiabatic transport around a closed path (i.e. a loop) within this space, in the…
Eigenstates of a non-Hermitian system exist on complex Riemannian manifolds, with multiple sheets connecting at branch cuts and exceptional points (EPs). These eigenstates can evolve across different sheets, a process that naturally…
Conventional mode tracking operates in the dark: it traces dispersion branches on the non-Hermitian eigenvalue manifold using only local continuity, unaware of the global Riemann-sheet topology. When exceptional points (EPs) lie close to…

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…
Non-Hermitian (NH) systems can display exotic topological phenomena without Hermitian counterparts, enabled by exceptional points (EPs). So far, investigations of NH topology have been restricted to EPs of the NH Hamiltonian, which governs…
One of the most fascinating and puzzling aspects of non-Hermitian systems is their spectral degeneracies, i.e., exceptional points (EPs), at which both eigenvalues and eigenvectors coalesce to form a defective state space. While coupled…
We consider the dynamics of a two-dimensional incompressible perfect fluid on a M\"obius strip embedded in $\mathbb{R}^3$. The vorticity-streamfunction formulation of the Euler equations is derived from an exterior-calculus form of the…
We establish a novel mechanism for topological transitions in non-Hermitian systems that are controlled by the system size. Based on a new paradigm known as exceptional-bound (EB) band engineering, its mechanism hinges on the unique…
The adiabatic theorem, a corollary of the Schr\"odinger equation, manifests itself in a profoundly different way in non-Hermitian arrangements, resulting in counterintuitive state transfer schemes that have no counterpart in closed quantum…
Exceptional points, at which two or more eigenfunctions of a Hamiltonian coalesce, occur in non-Hermitian systems and lead to surprising physical effects. In particular, the behaviour of a system under parameter variation can differ…
Topological transitions in non-Hermitian systems are generally boundary sensitive: a point-gap winding transition under periodic boundary condition (PBC) and a non-Bloch bulk real-line-gap transition under open boundary condition (OBC) at…
We investigate the existence of higher order exceptional points (EPs) in non-Hermitian systems, and show that $\mu$-fold EPs are stable in $\mu-1$ dimensions in the presence of anti-unitary symmetries that are local in parameter space, such…
