A generalization of the concept of PT symmetry

Abstract

We show that the PT symmetric Hamiltonians (and their generalizations defined in the text) may be all assigned the projected (so called Feshbach or effective) nonlinear Hamiltonians which are "locally" Hermitian. This implies that many (if not all) of the bound-state energies may be real in a broad domain of Hermiticity-violating interactions. A complexification of a Winternitz's super-integrable example in two dimensions is conjectured as an illustration.
