Pseudo-Hermiticity, weak pseudo-Hermiticity and η-orthogonality condition
We discuss certain features of pseudo-Hermiticity and weak pseudo-Hermiticity conditions and point out that, contrary to a recent claim, there is no inconsistency if the correct orthogonality condition is used for the class of pseudo-Hermitian, PTsymmetric Hamiltonians of the type Hβ = [p + iβν(x)] 2/2m + V (x).

متن کاملIs Weak Pseudo-Hermiticity Weaker than Pseudo-Hermiticity?
For a weakly pseudo-Hermitian linear operator, we give a spectral condition that ensures its pseudo-Hermiticity. This condition is always satisfied whenever the operator acts in a finite-dimensional Hilbert space. Hence weak pseudo-Hermiticity and pseudo-Hermiticity are equivalent in finite-dimensions. This equivalence extends to a much larger class of operators. Quantum systems whose Hamiltoni...
متن کاملCPT Symmetry Without Hermiticity
In the literature the CPT theorem has only been established for Hamiltonians that are Hermitian. Here we extend the CPT theorem to quantum field theories with non-Hermitian Hamiltonians. Our derivation is a quite minimal one as it requires only the time independent evolution of scalar products and invariance under complex Lorentz transformations. The first of these requirements does not force t...
متن کاملSemidefiniteness without Hermiticity
Let A ∈ Mn(C ). We give a rank characterization of the semidefiniteness of Hermitian A in two ways. We show that A is semidefinite if and only if rank[X∗AX] = rank[AX], for all X ∈ Mn(C ), and we show that A is semidefinite if and only if rank[X∗AX] = rank[AXX∗], for all X ∈ Mn(C ). We show that if A has semidefinite Hermitian part and A has positive semidefinite Hermitian part then A satisfies...
متن کاملSupersymmetry without hermiticity
A new model of supersymmetry between bosons and fermions is proposed. Its representation space is spanned by states with PT symmetry and real energies but the inter-related partner Hamiltonians themselves remain complex and non-Hermitian. The formalism admits vanishing Witten index.
