  1. Hadronic exceptional points

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Imaginary magnetic fields induce exceptional points in neutral meson mass spectra computed via hadronic effective Lagrangian and constituent quark models, separating real and complex eigenvalue regimes.

  2. Monotonic Impurity Entropy beyond Unitarity: the $\mathscr{PT}-$Symmetric Quantum Impurity Model

    cond-mat.str-el 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    In a PT-symmetric Kondo impurity model the impurity entropy flows monotonically from ln4 (UV) to 0 (IR) even though the boundary interaction is non-unitary.

  3. Atiyah--Singer Index Theorem for Non-Hermitian Dirac Operators

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    The index of non-Hermitian Dirac operators that anticommute with a chirality operator is topologically protected when the operators are diagonalizable and elliptic.

  4. Complex Wannier centers and drifting Wannier functions in non-Hermitian Hamiltonians

    cond-mat.mes-hall 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Complex Wannier centers derived from nonunitary Wilson loops in non-Hermitian Hamiltonians predict directional drift of Wannier functions and a bulk-boundary correspondence for filling anomalies and gain/loss in edge modes.

    quant-ph 2024-11 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    A pseudo-unitary quasiperiodic quantum walk model exhibits a novel mobility edge sharply dividing metallic and insulating phases plus a second transition unique to discrete time, with PT-symmetry breaking quantified b...

  6. Generalizing quantum dimensions: Symmetry-based classification of local pseudo-Hermitian systems and the corresponding domain walls

    hep-th 2025-11 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Generalized quantum dimensions from SymTFTs classify massless and massive RG flows in pseudo-Hermitian systems and relate coset constructions to domain walls.

  7. CFT Dual for Timelike Geodesic in Lorentzian dS

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Analytic continuation produces a PT-invariant CFT state reproducing the Bunch-Davies Wightman function for dS, but entanglement entropy captures only real central charge, motivating a timelike geodesic-integrated dual...

  8. Two flavor neutrino oscillations in presence of non-Hermitian dynamics

    quant-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    A density matrix approach to non-Hermitian two-flavor neutrino oscillations shows steady-state probabilities not necessarily 1/2, indicating non-Markovian behavior.
