Topological Band Theory for Non-Hermitian Hamiltonians

We develop the topological band theory for systems described by non-Hermitian Hamiltonians, whose energy spectra are generally complex. After generalizing the notion of gapped band structures to the non-Hermitian case, we classify “gapped” bands in one and two dimensions by explicitly finding their...
