Metric Operators for Quasi-Hermitian Hamiltonians and Symmetries of Equivalent Hermitian Hamiltonians
نویسنده
چکیده
We give a simple proof of the fact that every diagonalizable operator that has a real spectrum is quasi-Hermitian and show how the metric operators associated with a quasiHermitian Hamiltonian are related to the symmetry generators of an equivalent Hermitian Hamiltonian. PACS number: 03.65.-w

Quasi-Hermitian supersymmetric extensions of a non-Hermitian oscillator Hamiltonian and of its generalizations
A harmonic oscillator Hamiltonian augmented by a non-Hermitian PT -symmetric part and its su(1,1) generalizations, for which a family of positive-definite metric operators was recently constructed, are re-examined in a supersymmetric context. QuasiHermitian supersymmetric extensions of such Hamiltonians are proposed by enlarging su(1,1) to a su(1, 1/1) ∼ osp(2/2,R) superalgebra. This allows the...
متن کاملNon-Hermitian PT -symmetric and Hermitian Hamiltonians’ correspondence: Isospectrality and mass signature
A transformation of the form x → ±iy ∈ iR; x, y ∈ R, or an equivalent similarity transformation with a metric operator η are shown to map non-Hermitian PT -symmetric Hamiltonians into Hermitian partner Hamiltonians in Hilbert space. Isospectrality and mass signature are also discussed. PACS codes: 03.65.Ge, 03.65.Ca
متن کاملPseudo-Hermiticity and Generalized PT - and CPT -Symmetries
We study certain linear and antilinear symmetry generators and involution operators associated with pseudo-Hermitian Hamiltonians and show that the theory of pseudoHermitian operators provides a simple explanation for the recent results of Bender, Brody and Jones (quant-ph/0208076) on the CPT -symmetry of a class of PT -symmetric nonHermitian Hamiltonians. We present a natural extension of thes...

We propose construction of a unique and definite metric (η +), time-reversal operator (T) and an inner product such that the pseudo-Hermitian matrix Hamiltonians are C, PT, CPT invariant and PT(CPT)-norm is indefinite (definite). Here, P and C denote the generalized symmetries : parity and charge-conjugation respectively. The limitations of the other current approaches have been brought out.
متن کاملNon-Hermitian PT -symmetric and Hermitian Hamiltonians’ correspondence: A mass signature
A transformation of the form x → iy; x, y ∈ R, or a Darbouxal-type similarity transformation with a metric operator η are shown to transform non-Hermitian PT -symmetric Hamiltonians (with positive mass m = + |m|) into their Hermitian partner Hamiltonians (with negative mass m = − |m|) in Hilbert space.
