We prove that the spectrum of a certain PT-symmetric periodic problem is purely real. Our results extend to a larger class of potentials those recently found by Brian Davies [math.SP/0702122] and John Weir [arXiv:0711.1371].

We prove the following. For any complex valued $L^p$-function $b(x)$, $2 \leq p < \infty$ or $L^\infty$-function with the norm $\| b | L^{\infty}\| < 1$, the spectrum of a perturbed harmonic oscillator operator $L = -d^2/dx^2 + x^2 + b(x)$…

We consider equivariant continuous families of discrete one-dimensional operators over arbitrary dynamical systems. We introduce the concept of a pseudo-ergodic element of a dynamical system. We then show that all operators associated to…

A family $\BA_\a$ of differential operators depending on a real parameter $\a$ is considered. The problem can be formulated in the language of perturbation theory of quadratic forms. The perturbation is only relatively bounded but not…

We study the one-dimensional Dirac equation with local PT-symmetric potentials whose discrete eigenfunctions and continuum asymptotic eigenfunctions are eigenfunctions of the PT operator, too: on these conditions the bound-state spectra are…

We consider the operator $${\cal H} = {\cal H}' -\frac{\partial^2\ }{\partial x_d^2} \quad\text{on}\quad\omega\times\mathbb{R}$$ subject to the Dirichlet or Robin condition, where a domain $\omega\subseteq\mathbb{R}^{d-1}$ is bounded or…

Examples are given of non-Hermitian Hamiltonian operators which have a real spectrum. Some of the investigated operators are expressed in terms of the generators of the Weil-Heisenberg algebra. It is argued that the existence of an…

We consider non-self-adjoint operators in Hilbert spaces of the form $H=H_0+CWC$, where $H_0$ is self-adjoint, $W$ is bounded and $C$ is a metric operator, $C$ bounded and relatively compact with respect to $H_0$. We suppose that…

We study a class of rooted trees with a substitution type structure. These trees are not necessarily regular, but exhibit a lot of symmetries. We consider nearest neighbor operators which reflect the symmetries of the trees. The spectrum of…

Let $\Omega=G/K$ be a bounded symmetric domain and $S=K/L$ its Shilov boundary. We consider the action of $G$ on sections of a homogeneous line bundle over $\Omega$ and the corresponding eigenspaces of $G$-invariant differential operators.…

Let $\gH$ be a Hilbert space and let $A$ be a simple symmetric operator in $\gH$ with equal deficiency indices $d:=n_\pm(A)<\infty$. We show that if, for all $\l$ in an open interval $I\subset\bR$, the dimension of defect subspaces…

We consider a class of (possibly nondiagonalizable) pseudo-Hermitian operators with discrete spectrum, showing that in no case (unless they are diagonalizable and have a real spectrum) they are Hermitian with respect to a semidefinite inner…

We analyze the spectrum and normal mode representation of general quadratic bosonic forms $H$ not necessarily hermitian. It is shown that in the one-dimensional case such forms exhibit either an harmonic regime where both $H$ and…

We study the Schr\"odinger operator with a potential given by the sum of the potentials for harmonic oscillator and imaginary cubic oscillator and we focus on its pseudospectral properties. A summary of known results about the operator and…

The spectrum of discrete Schr\"odinger operator $L+V$ on the $d$-dimensional lattice is considered, where $L$ denotes the discrete Laplacian and $V$ a delta function with mass at a single point. Eigenvalues of $L+V$ are specified and the…

We investigate $\rho$-orthogonality and its local symmetry in the space of bounded linear operators. A characterization of Hilbert space operators with symmetric numerical range is established in terms of $\rho$-orthogonality. Further, we…

Criteria are formulated both for the existence and for the non-existence of complex eigenvalues for a class of non self-adjoint operators in Hilbert space invarariant under a particular discrete symmetry. Applications to the PT-symmetric…

In this article, we have introduced a $\mathcal{PT}$ symmetric non-Hermitian Hamiltonian model which is given as $\hat{\mathcal{H}}=\omega (\hat{b}^{\dag}\hat{b}+1/2)+ \alpha (\hat{b}^{2}-(\hat{b}^{\dag})^{2})$ where $\omega$ and $\alpha$…

In addition to the implementation of parity-time ($\mathcal{PT}$)-symmetric optical systems by carefully and actively controlling the gain and loss, we show that a $2\times 2$ $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric Hamiltonian has a unitarily equivalent…

We study the behavior of the limit of the spectrum of a non self-adjoint Sturm-Liouville operator with analytic potential as the semi-classical parameter $h\to 0$. We get a good description of the spectrum and limit spectrum near $\infty$.…
