Abstract: Lattice models with non-hermitian, parity and time-reversal ($mathcalPT$) symmetric Hamiltonians, realized most readily in coupled optical systems, have been intensely studied in the past few years. A $mathcalPT$-symmetric dimer lattice consists of dimers with intra-dimer coupling $u$, inter-dimer coupling $u^{\prime }$, and balanced gain and loss potentials $pmigamma$ within each dimer. This model undergoes two independent transitions, namely a $mathcalPT$-breaking transition and a topological transition. We numerically and analytically investigate the signatures of these transitions in the time-evolution of states that are initially localized on the gain-site or the loss-site.
