Abstract

We show that anyonic statistics fundamentally reshapes non-Hermitian many-body physics by intrinsically breaking pseudo-Hermiticity, leading to a unique real-complex spectral transition with characteristically dense states in Im$E$. This anyon-induced transition occurs even when bosonic and pseudofermionic counterparts remain entirely real, revealing a form of non-Hermitian criticality driven purely by exchange statistics. The resulting spectrum exhibits enhanced gaps in Im$E$ that dynamically isolate dominant eigenstates, producing anomalously stable short-time quench dynamics for anyons. Our results identify anyonic statistics as an intrinsic mechanism for generating unconventional non-Hermitian critical behavior usually associated with highly non-local systems.
