Krein-unitary Schrieffer-Wolff transformation and band touchings in bosonic Bogoliubov–de Gennes and other Krein-Hermitian Hamiltonians
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Krein-Hermitian Hamiltonians, i.e., Hamiltonians Hermitian with respect to an indefinite inner product, have emerged as an important class of non-Hermitian Hamiltonians in physics, encompassing both single-particle bosonic Bogoliubov--de Gennes (BdG) Hamiltonians and so-called ``$PT$-symmetric'' non-Hermitian Hamiltonians. In particular, they have attracted considerable scrutiny owing to the recent surge in interest for boson topology. Motivated by these developments, we formulate a perturbative Krein-unitary Schrieffer-Wolff transformation for finite-size dynamically stable Krein-Hermitian Hamiltonians, yielding an effective Hamiltonian for a subspace of interest. The effective Hamiltonian is Krein-Hermitian and, for sufficiently small perturbations, also dynamically stable. As an application, we use this transformation to justify codimension-based analyses of band touchings in bosonic BdG Hamiltonians, which complement topological characterization. We use this simple approach based on symmetry and codimension to revisit known topological magnon band touchings in several materials of recent interest.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
