Abstract

In a Lorentz symmetric non-Hermitian Dirac theory, a spatially modulated non-Hermitian parameter acts as a non-Hermitian gauge field. For suitable gauge potentials, the system experiences non-Hermitian magnetic fields that bind localized right or left zero-energy modes. The continuum result is anchored by a honeycomb-lattice realization in graphene, and the number of zero modes is tied to the enclosed non-Hermitian flux.
