In fact, the signal is negative in a single-band case in contrast to the ARPFS signal of Hermitian superconductors. We suggest that the negative fluctuations can be explained by a remarkable pairing phenomenon: If the interaction between electrons in this PT-symmetric non-Hermitian superconductor is attractive, then the interaction between holes (i.e., missing electrons) is repulsive and vice versa. This difference in the sign of the interactions gives rise to negative cross correlations. Here, we propose how such an electron-electron interaction can occur due to the spatiotemporal modulation of the material. We also discuss the observability of this signature in multiband systems.
