چکیده
The spectral branching behavior of the 2 × 2 operator matrix of the magneto-hydrodynamic α−dynamo is analyzed numerically. Some qualitative aspects of level crossings are briefly discussed with the help of a simple toy model which is based on a Z2−gradedpseudo-Hermitian 2× 2 matrix. The considered issues comprise: the underlying SU(1, 1) symmetry and the Krein space structure of the system, exceptional points of branching type and diabolic points, as well as the algebraic and geometric multiplicity of corresponding degenerate eigenvalues.

متن کاملIntertwiners of Pseudo-Hermitian 2 × 2-Block-Operator Matrices and a No-Go Theorem for Isospectral MHD Dynamo Operators
Pseudo-Hermiticity as a generalization of usual Hermiticity is a rather common feature of (differential) operators emerging in various physical setups. Examples are Hamiltonians of PTand CPT-symmetric quantum mechanical systems [1] as well as the operator of the spherically symmetric α-dynamo [2] in magnetohydrodynamics (MHD). In order to solve the inverse spectral problem for these operators, ...
متن کاملsetups: PT −symmetric matrix toy model, MHD α 2 −dynamo, and extended Squire equation ∗)
The spectra of self-adjoint operators in Krein spaces are known to possess real sectors as well as sectors of pair-wise complex conjugate eigenvalues. Transitions from one spectral sector to the other are a rather generic feature and they usually occur at exceptional points of square root branching type. For certain parameter configurations two or more such exceptional points may happen to coal...
متن کاملIsospectrality of spherical MHD dynamo operators: Pseudo-Hermiticity and a no-go theorem
The isospectrality problem is studied for the operator of the spherical hydromagnetic α−dynamo. It is shown that this operator is formally pseudo-Hermitian (J−symmetric) and lives in a Krein space. Based on the J−symmetry, an operator intertwining Ansatz with first-order differential intertwining operators is tested for its compatibility with the structure of the α−dynamo operator matrix. An in...
متن کاملKrein space related perturbation theory for MHD α 2−dynamos and resonant unfolding of diabolical points
The spectrum of the spherically symmetric α2−dynamo is studied in the case of idealized boundary conditions. Starting from the exact analytical solutions of models with constant α−profiles a perturbation theory and a Galerkin technique are developed in a Krein-space approach. With the help of these tools a very pronounced α−resonance pattern is found in the deformations of the spectral mesh as ...
