For a non-Hermitian Hamiltonian H possessing a real spectrum, we introduce a canonical orthonormal basis in which a previously introduced unitary mapping of H to a Hermitian Hamiltonian h takes a simple form. We use this basis to construct the observables Oα of the quantum mechanics based on H. In particular, we introduce pseudo-Hermitian position and momentum operators and a pseudo-Hermitian q...

Let H be any complex inner product space with inner product < ·, · >. We say that f : | C → | C is Hermitian positive definite on H if the matrix ( f(< z,z >) )n r,s=1 (∗) is Hermitian positive definite for all choice of z, . . . ,z in H, all n. It is strictly Hermitian positive definite if the matrix (∗) is also non-singular for any choice of distinct z, . . . ,z in H. In this article we prove...

Let M be an n-dimensional projective algebraic manifold in certain projective space CP . The hyperplane line bundle of CP restricts to an ample line bundle L on M , which is called a polarization of M . A Kähler metric g is called a polarized metric, if the corresponding Kähler form represents the first Chern class c1(L) of L in H (M,Z). Given any polarized Kähler metric g, there is a Hermitian...

We will use the variational approach to (0.1) as described in [2] and we will stick to the notations of that paper. Given the complex n-dimensional Hermitian space (C, 〈·, ·〉), for any m ∈ N let H m := H(J,C) be the Sobolev space of all H-maps from J := [0, 1] into C. A derivative dependent Hermitian form is the form Ω(x)[u] = Pm i,j=0〈D u(x), ωi,j(x)D u(x)〉, where, each ωi,j is a smooth path o...

We investigate the following two problems on a hermitian form Φ over an algebraic number field: (1) classification of Φ over the ring of algebraic integers; (2) hermitian Diophantine equations. The same types of problems for quadratic forms were treated in the author’s previous articles. Here we discuss the hermitian case. Problem (2) concerns an equation ξΦ · ξ = Ψ , where Φ and Ψ represent he...

Toeplitz matrices have been found important applications in bioinformatics and computational biology [5-9, 11-12]. In this paper we concern the reconstruction of an hermitian Toeplitz matrices with prescribed eigenpairs. Based on the fact that every centrohermitian matrix can be reduced to a real matrix by a simple similarity transformation, we first consider the eigenstructure of hermitian Toe...

Gray & Hervella gave a classification of almost Hermitian structures (g, I) into 16 classes. We systematically study the interaction between these classes when one has an almost hyper-Hermitian structure (g, I, J,K). In general dimension we find at most 167 different almost hyper-Hermitian structures. In particular, we obtain a number of relations that give hyperKäher or locally conformal hyper...

Examples are given of non-Hermitian Hamiltonian operators which have a real spectrum. Some of the investigated operators are expressed in terms of the generators of the Weil-Heisenberg algebra. It is argued that the existence of an involutive operator Ĵ which renders the Hamiltonian Ĵ-Hermitian leads to the unambiguous definition of an associated positive definite norm allowing for the standard...

Present Hermitian QuantumTheory (HQT), i.e. QuantumMechanics (QM) and Quantum Field Theory (QFT), is revised and replaced by a consistent non-Hermitian formalism called non-Hermitian Quantum Theory (NHQT) or (Anti)Causal Quantum Theory ((A)CQT) after lining out some inherent inconsistencies and problems arising in the context of causality, which is observed to introduce an indefinite metric in ...

The enhanced principal rank characteristic sequence (epr-sequence) of an n×n matrix is a sequence `1`2 · · ·`n, where each `k is A, S, or N according as all, some, or none of its principal minors of order k are nonzero. There has been substantial work on epr-sequences of symmetric matrices (especially real symmetric matrices) and real skew-symmetric matrices, and incidental remarks have been ma...
