内容:

Altland-Zirnbauer (1997) gave ten-fold symmetry classification of disordered electron system. The localization property and critical behavior of electron is universal in a given spatial dimension and symmetry class. In the ten-fold symmetry classification, the periodic table of topological matters can be obtained.  Recently, non-Hermitian systems have attracted a lot interests, e.g., optical systems with energy gain and loss, biological network. Non-Hermiticity enriches the 10-fold Altland-Zirnbauer symmetry class into the 38-fold symmetry class, and non-Hermitian periodic table of topological matters has been established by Hermitization recently. We demonstrate that the critical exponents of the length scale in non-Hermitian systems coincide with the critical exponents in the corresponding Hermitian systems with additional chiral symmetry. A remarkable consequence is superuniversality and the known knowledge in Hermitian systems can be directly transformed to non-Hermitian systems.
