Non-Bloch bands in two-dimensional non-Hermitian systems

Abstract

The non-Bloch band theory can describe energy bands in a one-dimensional (1D) non-Hermitian system. On the other hand, whether the non-Bloch band theory can be extended to higher-dimensional non-Hermitian systems is nontrivial. In this work, we construct the non-Bloch band theory in two classes of two-dimensional non-Hermitian systems, by reducing the problem to that for a 1D non-Hermitian model. In these classes of systems, we get the generalized Brillouin zone for a complex wavevector and investigate topological properties. In the model of the non-Hermitian Chern insulator, as an example, we show the bulk-edge correspondence between the Chern number defined from the generalized Brillouin zone and the appearance of the edge states.
