This paper argues that non-self-adjoint operators can be observables. There are only four ways for this to occur: non-self-adjoint observables can either be normal operators, or be symmetric, or have a real spectrum, or have none of these…
We study certain linear and antilinear symmetry generators and involution operators associated with pseudo-Hermitian Hamiltonians and show that the theory of pseudo-Hermitian operators provides a simple explanation for the recent results of…
We consider a family $$ \widehat H_{a,b}(\mu)=\widehat H_0 +\mu \widehat V_{a,b}\quad \mu>0, $$ of Schr\"odinger-type operators on the two dimensional lattice $\mathbb{Z}^2,$ where $\widehat H_0$ is a Laurent-Toeplitz-type convolution…
We consider a polyharmonic operator $H=(-\Delta)^l+V(x)$ in dimension two with $l\geq 6$ and a limit-periodic potential $V(x)$. We prove that the spectrum of $H$ contains a semiaxis and there is a family of generalized eigenfunctions at…
We develop an algebraic formulation for the discrete quantum harmonic oscillator (DQHO) with a finite, equally-spaced energy spectrum and energy eigenfunctions defined on a discrete domain, which is known as the su(2) or Kravchuk…
A typical result of the paper is the following. Let $H_\gamma=H_0 +\gamma V$ where $H_0$ is multiplication by $|x|^{2l}$ and $V$ is an integral operator with kernel $\cos< x,y\rang le$ in the space $L_2(R^d)$. If $l=d/2+ 2k$ for some $k=…
Stability of soliton families in one-dimensional nonlinear Schroedinger equations with non-parity-time (PT)-symmetric complex potentials is investigated numerically. It is shown that these solitons can be linearly stable in a wide range of…
For a class of non-selfadjoint $h$--pseudodifferential operators with double characteristics, we give a precise description of the spectrum and establish accurate semiclassical resolvent estimates in a neighborhood of the origin.…
The C operator in PT-symmetric quantum mechanics satisfies a system of three simultaneous algebraic operator equations, $C^2=1$, $[C,PT]=0$, and $[C,H]=0$. These equations are difficult to solve exactly, so perturbative methods have been…
We define pseudo-reality and pseudo-adjointness of a Hamiltonian, $H$, as $\rho H \rho^{-1}=H^\ast$ and $\mu H \mu^{-1}=H^\prime$, respectively. We prove that the former yields the {\it necessary} condition for spectrum to be real whereas…
One of the celebrated results of Loop Quantum Gravity (LQG) is the discreteness of the spectrum of geometrical operators such as length, area and volume operators. This is an indication that Planck scale geometry in LQG is discontinuous…
We study several classes of non-Hermitian Hamiltonian systems, which can be expressed in terms of bilinear combinations of Euclidean Lie algebraic generators. The classes are distinguished by different versions of antilinear (PT)-symmetries…
We study the (H\"older-)continuous behavior of the spectra belonging to a family of linear bounded operators $(A_t)_{t\in T}$ indexed by a topological space $T$. For the cases of self-adjoint, unitary and normal operators, a…
Let $X=G/P$ be a real projective quadric, where $G=O(p,q)$ and $P$ is a parabolic subgroup of $G$. Let $\left(\pi_{\lambda,\epsilon}, \mathcal{H}_{\lambda,\epsilon}\right)_{ (\lambda,\epsilon)\in \mathbb {C}\times \{\pm\}}$ be the family of…
In this paper, we consider the perturbations of the Harmonic Oscillator Operator by an odd pair of point interactions: $z (\delta(x - b) - \delta(x + b))$. We study the spectrum by analyzing a convenient formula for the eigenvalue. We…
The goal of the paper is to investigate the dynamics of the eigenvalues of the Sturm-Liouville operator with summable PT-symmetric potential on the finite interval. It turns out that the case of a complex Airy operator presents an exactly…
We confirm rigorously the conjecture, based on numerical and asymptotic evidence, that all the eigenvalues of a certain non-self-adjoint operator are real.
We introduce and investigate symmetric operators $L_0$ associated in the complex Hilbert space $L^2(\mathbb{R})$ with a formal differential expression \[l[u] :=-(pu')'+qu + i((ru)'+ru') \] under minimal conditions on the regularity of the…
In this paper we study the spectrum of a fundamental differential operator on a Hilbert-P\'olya space. A number is an eigenvalue of this differential operator if and only if it is a nontrivial zero of the Riemann zeta function. An explicit…
We study spectral asymptotics for small non-selfadjoint perturbations of selfadjoint $h$-pseudodifferential operators in dimension 2, assuming that the classical flow of the unperturbed part possesses several invariant Lagrangian tori…
