Query: Continuum damping of topologically-protected edge modes at the boundary
  of a magnetized plasma   The topological properties of the magnetized plasma have recently been
studied for Hermitian (undamped) edge states. Taking a step further, we present
non-Hermitian effects (collisionless damping) of topological edge states in an
inhomogeneous magnetized plasma. We show that at an inhomogeneous plasma-vacuum
interface, a resonant coupling between an edge state and a local plasma bulk
mode (upper-hybrid) leads to collisionless damping of the former. By analysis
of theoretical model and ab-initio particle-in-cell simulation, we found that
the damping rate increases with the increasing scale length of density
inhomogeneity. We also present that coupling with bulk modes does not break the
topological protection of damped edge states.
