Exceptional points in Fermi liquids with quadrupolar interactions

Abstract

We show the existence of non-Hermitian degeneracies, known as exceptional points, in the collective mode spectrum of Fermi liquids with quadrupolar interactions. Through a careful analysis of the analytic properties of the dynamic quadrupolar susceptibility, we show that, in the weak attractive region, two stable collective modes coalesce to an exceptional point. We completely characterize this singularity, explicitly showing its topological properties. Experimental signatures are also discussed.
