On domains of {\cal P}{\cal T} symmetric operators related to −y″(x) + (− 1)nx2ny(x)

Abstract: In the recent years a generalization of Hermiticity was investigated using a complex deformation H = p 2 + x 2 (ix) ǫ of the harmonic oscillator Hamiltonian, where ǫ is a real parameter. These complex Hamiltonians, possessing PT symmetry (the product of parity and time reversal), can have real spectrum. We will consider the most simple case: ǫ even. In this paper we describe all self-adjoint (Hermitian) and at the same time PT symmetric operators associated to H = p 2 + x 2 (ix) ǫ . Surprisingly it turns out t… Show more

“…There are families of non-hermitian Hamiltonians for which their eigenfunctions and spectrum can not be used to complete the information of H in the whole Hilbert space H. The treatment of these problems involves another tools as generalized Riesz systems [67][68][69], pseudospectrum [14], unbounded metric operators and spectral functions for definitizable operators in Krein spaces [42,66,68,70]. Also, the domain of the spectral functions is a non trivial issue to address [71].…”

“…While the number of studies of such PT-symmetric systems both in optics [18] and in atomic physics [15,16] is rapidly growing, the volume of related mathematical works is rather limited and mostly constrained to linear problems [6,7,22,33]. It is the purpose of this paper to provide a number of rigorous results on nonlinear stationary states in PT-symmetric discrete systems.…”
