Abstract
- We consider the quasi Hermitian limit of a non-Hermitian extended Su Schrieffer Heeger model, in which the hopping amplitudes obey a specific relation so that the system may be mapped to a corresponding Hermitian one and its energy spectrum is completely real. Analogous to the Hermitian case, one may use the modified winding number to determine the total number of edge states on the boundaries to achieve a modified bulk-boundary correspondence. Due to the skin effect in nonHermitian systems, the spectral winding numbers must be used to classify such systems further. It dictates how the edge states would be distributed over the left and right boundaries. We then naively extend the criteria to the cases that the quasi Hermitian condition is violated. For all the cases that we consider, no inconsistency has been found.<br />Comment: 21 pages, 10 figures
