We study positive definite functions on noncommuting strict contractions. In particular, we study functions that induce positive definite Hua-Bellman matrices (i.e., matrices of the form $[\det(I-A_i^*A_j)^{-\alpha}]_{ij}$ where $A_i$ and…

The Hamiltonian for quantum electrodynamics becomes non-Hermitian if the unrenormalized electric charge $e$ is taken to be imaginary. However, if one also specifies that the potential $A^\mu$ in such a theory transforms as a pseudovector…

Graphical functions have emerged as a powerful framework for evaluating multi-loop Feynman integrals in perturbative quantum field theory. Defined as massless three-point position-space integrals, they reveal rich analytic structures and…

Non-Hermitian (NH) Hamiltonians have been shown to exhibit unique signatures, including the NH skin effect and an exponential spectral sensitivity with respect to boundary conditions. Here, we investigate as to what extent these remarkable…

Quantum mechanics of unitary systems is considered in quasi-Hermitian representation. In this framework the concept of perturbation is found counterintuitive, for three reasons. The first one is that in this formalism we are allowed to…

We revisit the celebrated Hellmann-Feynman theorem (HFT) in the PT invariant non-Hermitian quantum physics framework. We derive a modified version of HFT by changing the definition of inner product and explicitly show that it holds good for…
