Non-Hermitian PT-symmetric quantum-mechanical Hamiltonians generally exhibit a phase transition that separates two parametric regions, (i) a region of unbroken PT symmetry in which the eigenvalues are all real, and (ii) a region of broken…
Parity-time (PT) symmetry has attracted a lot of attention since the concept of pseudo-Hermitian dynamics of open quantum systems was first demonstrated two decades ago. Contrary to their Hermitian counterparts, non-conservative…
The recently proposed PT-symmetric quantum mechanics works with complex potentials which possess, roughly speaking, a symmetric real part and an anti-symmetric imaginary part. We propose and describe a new exactly solvable model of this…
The physical condition that the expectation values of physical observables are real quantities is used to give a precise formulation of PT-symmetric quantum mechanics. A mathematically rigorous proof is given to establish the physical…
We show that the PT symmetric Hamiltonians (and their generalizations defined in the text) may be all assigned the projected (so called Feshbach or effective) nonlinear Hamiltonians which are "locally" Hermitian. This implies that many (if…
We obtain the symmetry algebra of multi-matrix models in the planar large N limit. We use this algebra to associate these matrix models with quantum spin chains. In particular, certain multi-matrix models are exactly solved by using known…
Non-perturbative renormalization group approach suggests that a large class of nonlinear sigma models are renormalizable in three dimensional space-time, while they are non-renormalizable in perturbation theory. ${\cal N}=2$ supersymmetric…
The construction of $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric quantum electrodynamics is reviewed. In particular, the massless version of the theory in 1+1 dimensions (the Schwinger model) is solved. Difficulties with unitarity of the $S$-matrix are…
One of the simplest examples of a PT-symmetric quantum system is the scaling Yang-Lee model, a quantum field theory with cubic interaction and purely imaginary coupling. We give a historical review of some facts about this model in d <= 2…
Grand unification of gauge couplings and fermionic representations remains an appealing proposal to explain the seemingly coincidental structure of the Standard Model. However, to realise the Standard Model at low energies, the unified…
