contents Band structures of several metamaterials are described by generalized eigenvalue equations where complex bands emerge even if the involved matrices are Hermitian. In this paper, we provide a geometrical understanding of the real-complex transition of the band structures. Specifically, our analysis, based on auxiliary eigenvalues, elucidates the correspondence between the real-complex transition of the generalized eigenvalue equations and Lifshitz transition in electron systems. Furthermore, we elucidate that real (complex) bands of a photonic system correspond to the Fermi surfaces of type-II (type-I) Dirac cones in electron systems when the permittivity $\varepsilon$ and the permeability $μ$ are independent of frequency. In addition, our analysis elucidates that EPs are induced by the frequency dependence of the permittivity $\varepsilon$ and the permeability $μ$ in our photonic system.
