Abstract

We study a topological band degeneracy in non-Hermitian systems with parity-time () and parity-particle-hole () symmetries. In -dimensional non-Hermitian systems, it is shown that -dimensional exceptional surfaces can appear from band touching thanks to or symmetry. We investigate the topological stability and zero-gap quasiparticles for the exceptional surfaces due to the band degeneracy. We also demonstrate the band degeneracy by using lattice models of a topological semimetal and a superconductor.
