Abstract

The parity operator P\cal P and time reversal operator T\cal T are two important operators in the quantum theory, in particular, in the PT\cal PT-symmetric quantum theory. By using the concrete forms of P\cal P and T\cal T, we discuss their geometrical properties in two dimensional spaces. It is showed that if T\cal T is given, then all P\cal P links with the quadric surfaces; if P\cal P is given, then all T\cal T links with the quadric curves. Moreover, we give out the generalized unbroken PT\cal PT-symmetric condition of an operator. The unbroken PT\cal PT-symmetry of a Hermitian operator is also showed in this way.
