State-Dependent Topological Invariants and Anomalous Bulk-Boundary Correspondence in Non-Hermitian Topological Systems with Generalized Inversion Symmetry

  • Breakdown of bulk-boundary correspondence in non-Hermitian (NH) topological systems with generalized inversion symmetries is a controversial issue. The non-Bloch topological invariants determine the existence of edge states, but fail to describe the number and distribution of defective edge states in non-Hermitian topological systems. The state-dependent topological invariants, instead of a global topological invariant, are developed to accurately characterize the bulk-boundary correspondence of the NH systems, which is very different from their Hermitian counterparts. At the same time, we obtain the accurate phase diagram of the one-dimensional non-Hermitian Su–Schrieffer–Heeger model with a generalized inversion symmetry from the state-dependent topological invariants. Therefore, these results will be helpful for understanding the exotic topological properties of various non-Hermitian systems.
