We study the skin effect in a one-dimensional system of finitely many subwavelength resonators with a non-Hermitian imaginary gauge potential. Using Toeplitz matrix theory, we prove the condensation of bulk eigenmodes at one of the edges of the system. By introducing a generalised (complex) Brillouin zone, we can compute spectral bands of the associated infinitely periodic structure and prove that this is the limit of the spectra of the finite structures with arbitrarily large size. Finally, we contrast the non-Hermitian systems with imaginary gauge potentials considered here with systems where the non-Hermiticity arises due to complex material parameters, showing that the two systems are fundamentally distinct.

Article Synopsis
- Square-root topology is a new area in topological insulators that connects systems through squaring Hamiltonians, with extensions leading to higher-root versions that involve multiple squaring operations.* -
- This research develops a framework for general n-root topological insulators using the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model, employing non-Hermitian models with generalized chiral symmetry and unique edge states in a complex energy spectrum.* -
- The study explores practical applications in photonic ring systems, where manipulated couplings can create high imaginary gauge fields, allowing for experimental validation of these new high-root topological models.*

With our very limited memories, we provide a brief review of Paul Frampton's memories of the discovery of the Veneziano model, with this indeed being string theory, with Y. Nambu, and, secondly, his 3-3-1 theory. The latter is, indeed, a non-excluded replacement for the Standard Model with triangle anomalies being cancelled, as they must in a truly viable theory.

Experimental demonstration of tunable temporal Goos-Hänchen shift (GHS) in synthetic discrete-time heterolattices with scalar and vector gauge potentials is reported. By using Heaviside-function modulation in two fiber loops, we create a sharp gauge-potential interface and observe temporal GHS for total internal reflection (TIR), which manifests as a time delay rather than a spatial shift. The TIR occurs as the incident mode falls into the band gap of transmitted region with band shifting by scalar and vector potential.

Motivated by the recent developments in terahertz spectroscopy using pump-probe setups to study correlated electronic materials, we review the field theoretical formalism to compute finite frequency nonlinear electro-optical responses in centrosymmetric systems starting from basic time dependent perturbation theory. We express the nonlinear current kernel as a sum of several causal response functions. These causal functions cannot be evaluated using perturbative field theory methods, since they are not contour ordered.
