Is Weak Pseudo-Hermiticity Weaker than Pseudo-Hermiticity?

چکیده
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 Hamiltonian is selected from among these operators correspond to pseudo-Hermitian quantum systems possessing certain symmetries. PACS number: 03.65.-w

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 کاملη-weak-pseudo-Hermiticity generators per exact solvability
Exact solvability of some non-Hermitian η-weak-pseudo-Hermitian Hamiltonians is explored as a byproduct of η-weak-pseudo-Hermiticity generators. A class of Veff (x) = V (x) + iW (x) potentials is considered, where the imaginary part W (x) is used as an η-weak-pseudo-Hermiticity generator to obtain exactly solvable η-weak-pseudo-Hermitian Hamiltonian models. PACS numbers: 03.65.Ge, 03.65.Fd,03.6...

متن کاملComplex Optical Potentials and Pseudo-Hermitian Hamiltonians
Recently some authors have broadened the scope of canonical quantum mechanics by replacing the conventional Hermiticity condition on the Hamiltonian by a weaker requirement through the introduction of the notion of pseudo-Hermiticity. In the present study we investigate eigenvalues, transmission and reflection from complex optical potentials enjoying the property of pseudo-Hermiticity.
متن کاملη-weak-pseudo-Hermiticity generators and radially symmetric Hamiltonians
A class η-weak-pseudo-Hermiticity generators for spherically symmetric non-Hermitian Hamiltonians are presented. An operators-based procedure is introduced so that the results for the 1D Schrödinger Hamiltonian may very well be reproduced. A generalization beyond the nodeless states is proposed. Our illustrative examples include η-weak-pseudo-Hermiticity generators for the non-Hermitian weakly ...
