According to the topological band theory of a Hermitian system, the different electronic phases are classified in terms of topological invariants, wherein the transition between the two phases characterized by a different topological invariant is the primary signature of a topological phase transition. Recently, it has been argued that the delocalization-localization transition in a quasicrystal, described by the non-Hermitian $mathcal{PT}$-symmetric extension of the Aubry-Andr{e}-Harper (AAH) Hamiltonian can also be identified as a topological phase transition. Interestingly, the $mathcal{PT}$-symmetry also breaks down at the same critical point. However, in this article, we have shown that the delocalization-localization transition and the $mathcal{PT}$-symmetry breaking are not connected to a topological phase transition. To demonstrate this, we have studied the non-Hermitian $mathcal{PT}$-symmetric AAH Hamiltonian in the presence of Rashba Spin-Orbit (RSO) coupling. We have obtained an analytical expression of the topological transition point and compared it with the numerically obtained critical points. We have found that, except in some special cases, the critical point and the topological transition point are not the same. In fact, the delocalization-localization transition takes place earlier than the topological transition whenever they do not coincide.
We propose a general analytic method to study the localization transition in one-dimensional quasicrystals with parity-time ($mathcal{PT}$) symmetry, described by complex quasiperiodic mosaic lattice models. By applying Avilas global theory of quasip
We investigate localization-delocalization transition in one-dimensional non-Hermitian quasiperiodic lattices with exponential short-range hopping, which possess parity-time ($mathcal{PT}$) symmetry. The localization transition induced by the non-Her
The emergence of the mobility edge (ME) has been recognized as an important characteristic of Anderson localization. The difficulty in understanding the physics of the MEs in three-dimensional (3D) systems from a microscopic picture promotes discover

We investigate the localization and topological transitions in a one-dimensional (interacting) non-Hermitian quasiperiodic lattice, which is described by a generalized Aubry-Andr{e}-Harper model with irrational modulations in the off-diagonal hopping
