Exceptional points and the topology of quantum many-body spectra — •David Luitz and Francesco Piazza — Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems, Dresden, Germany

We show that in a generic, ergodic quantum many-body system the interactions induce a nontrivial topology for an arbitrarily small non-Hermitian component of the Hamiltonian. This is due to an exponential-in-system-size proliferation of exceptional points which have the Hermitian limit as an accumulation (hyper)surface. The nearest-neighbor level repulsion characterizing Hermitian ergodic many-body systems is thus shown to be a projection of a richer phenomenology, where actually all the exponentially many eigenvalues are pairwise connected in a topologically robust fashion via exceptional points.
