Abstract

We investigate the distribution of fidelity zeros in two-band topological models by extending the phase transition driving parameter into the complex plane. Within the biorthogonal formulation, we unveil that fidelity zeros are related to momentum modes for which the real part of the energy gap vanishes. Guided by this relation, we analyze the Kitaev chain, the Haldane model, and the Qi-Wu-Zhang (QWZ) model. In finite-size systems the zeros form discrete lines parallel to the imaginary axis, while in the thermodynamic limit they accumulate into extended regions in the complex parameter plane. For the Kitaev and Haldane models, the accessible interval of the real part of the complexified parameter is bounded by the critical points of the corresponding topological transitions. For the QWZ model, the transitions at u = pm2 are identified in the same way, whereas the critical point at u = 0 is signaled by fidelity zeros crossing the real axis. These results extend the fidelity-zero framework to topological quantum phase transitions and clarify how critical information is encoded in complexified parameter space.
