Abstract
Given a diagonalizable matrix , whose non-degenerate spectrum consists of pairs of complex conjugate eigenvalues and additional real eigenvalues, we determine all metrics , of all possible signatures, with respect to which is pseudo-hermitian. In particular, we show that any compatible must have pairs of opposite eigenvalues in its spectrum so that is the minimal number of both positive and negative eigenvalues of . We provide explicit parametrization of the space of all admissible metrics and show that it is topologically a -dimensional torus tensored with an appropriate power of the group .
