Abstract

Comparison between the exact value of the spectral zeta function, ZH(1)=56/5[32cos(π/5)]Γ2(1/5)/Γ(3/5)Z_{H}(1)=5^{-6/5}[3-2\cos(\pi/5)]\Gamma^2(1/5)/\Gamma(3/5), and the results of numeric and WKB calculations supports the conjecture by Bessis that all the eigenvalues of this PT-invariant hamiltonian are real. For one-dimensional Schr\"odinger operators with complex potentials having a monotonic imaginary part, the eigenfunctions (and the imaginary parts of their logarithmic derivatives) have no real zeros.
