Conditions for complex spectra in a class of PT symmetric potentials
نویسنده
چکیده
We study a wide class of solvable PT symmetric potentials in order to identify conditions under which these potentials have regular solutions with complex energy. Besides confirming previous findings for two potentials, most of our results are new. We demonstrate that the occurrence of conjugate energy pairs is a natural phenomenon for these potentials. We demonstrate that the present method can readily be extended to further potential classes. PACS 03.65.Fd, 03.65.Ge, 03.65.Nk e-mail: [email protected] e-mail: [email protected]

We investigate complex PT-symmetric potentials, associated with quasi-exactly solvable non-hermitian models involving polynomials and a class of rational functions. We also look for special solutions of intertwining relations of SUSY Quantum Mechanics providing a partnership between a real and a complex PT-symmetric potential of the kind mentioned above. We investigate conditions sufficient to ...
متن کاملPartially PT symmetric optical potentials with all-real spectra and soliton families in multidimensions.
Multidimensional complex optical potentials with partial parity-time (PT) symmetry are proposed. The usual PT symmetry requires that the potential is invariant under complex conjugation and simultaneous reflection in all spatial directions. However, we show that if the potential is only partially PT symmetric, i.e., it is invariant under complex conjugation and reflection in a single spatial di...

متن کاملSymmetry breaking of solitons in one-dimensional parity-time-symmetric optical potentials.
Symmetry breaking of solitons in a class of one-dimensional parity-time (PT) symmetric complex potentials with cubic nonlinearity is reported. In generic PT-symmetric potentials, such symmetry breaking is forbidden. However, in a special class of PT-symmetric potentials V(x)=g(2)(x)+αg(x)+ig'(x), where g(x) is a real and even function and α a real constant, symmetry breaking of solitons can occ...

By applying the higher order Darboux algorithm to an exactly solvable non Hermitian PT symmetric potential, we obtain a hierarchy of new exactly solvable non Hermitian PT symmetric potentials with real spectra. It is shown that the symmetry underlying the potentials so generated and the original one is nonlinear pseudo supersymmetry. We also show that this formalism can be used to generate a la...
