We provide an explanation to the behaviour of the spectra of two exactly-solvable one-dimensional Hamiltonians with PT symmetry proposed earlier. We calculate the branch points at which pairs of eigenvalues coalesce and discuss the…
We consider the one-dimensional Dirac equation for the harmonic oscillator and the associated second order separated operators giving the resonances of the problem by complex dilation. The same operators have unique extensions as closed…
The paper addresses a conjecture of Shapiro and Tater on the similarity between two sets of points in the complex plane; on one side is the values of $t\in \mathbb{C}$ for which the spectrum of the quartic anharmonic oscillator in the…
Given two real symmetric matrices, their eigenvalue configuration is the relative arrangement of their eigenvalues on the real line. In this paper, we consider the following problem: given two parametric real symmetric matrices and an…
$2\times2$ matrix polynomials of the form $P_{n}(z)= \Sigma^{n}_{j=0}\,\sigma_{j}\,z^{j}$, for the cases $n=1,2,3$ are constructed, and the nature of PT-symmetry is examined across different points $z=(x,y)$ in the complex plane. The…
We describe one-dimensional stationary scattering of a two-component wave field by a non-Hermitian matrix potential which features odd-$PT$ symmetry, i.e., symmetry with $(PT)^2=-1$. The scattering is characterized by a $4\times 4$ transfer…
We introduce a new family of quasi-exactly solvable generalized isotonic oscillators which are based on the pseudo-Hermite exceptional orthogonal polynomials. We obtain exact closed-form expressions for the energies and wavefunctions as…
Many manifestly non-Hermitian Hamiltonians (typically, PT-symmetric complex anharmonic oscillators) possess a strictly real, "physical" bound-state spectrum. This means that they are (quasi-)Hermitian with respect to a suitable non-standard…
We investigate the spectral and symmetry properties of a quantum particle moving on a circle with a pointlike singularity (or point interaction). We find that, within the U(2) family of the quantum mechanically allowed distinct…
We show how in PT-symmetric 2J-level quantum systems the assumption of an upside-down symmetry (or duality) of their spectra simplifies their classification based on the non-equivalent pairwise mergers of the energy levels.
The non-Hermitian PT-symmetric quantum-mechanical Hamiltonian $H=p^2+x^2(ix)^\epsilon$ has real, positive, and discrete eigenvalues for all $\epsilon\geq 0$. These eigenvalues are analytic continuations of the harmonic-oscillator…
It is known that multidimensional complex potentials obeying $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetry may possess all real spectra and continuous families of solitons. Recently it was shown that for multi-dimensional systems these features can persist when…
Here, using two real non-zero parameters $\lambda$ and $\mu$, we construct Gaussian pseudo-orthogonal ensembles of a large number $N$ of $n \times n$ ($n$ even and large) real pseudo-symmetric matrices under the metric $\eta$ using $…
We investigate a two-parameter family of linear maps on matrix algebras, constructed as diagonal perturbations of classical Tomiyama maps. Employing the Choi matrix method alongside block-positivity techniques, we derive explicit necessary…
We describe a method for comparing the real analytic eigenbranches of two families of quadratic forms that degenerate as t tends to zero. One of the families is assumed to be amenable to `separation of variables' and the other one not. With…
The E2 algebra has three elements, J, u, and v, which satisfy the commutation relations [u,J]=iv, [v,J]=-iu, [u,v]=0. We can construct the Hamiltonian H=J^2+gu, where g is a real parameter, from these elements. This Hamiltonian is Hermitian…
In this paper, we consider the simultaneously symmetrization and spectral finiteness for a finite set of real 2-by-2 matrices.
We analyze a set of three PT-symmetric complex potentials, namely harmonic oscillator, generalized Poschl-Teller and Scarf II, all of which reveal a double series of energy levels along with the corresponding superpotential. Inspired by the…
We consider orthogonal polynomials on the surface of a double cone or a hyperboloid of revolution, either finite or infinite in axis direction, and on the solid domain bounded by such a surface and, when the surface is finite, by…
This paper proposes to broaden the canonical formulation of quantum mechanics. Ordinarily, one imposes the condition $H^\dagger=H$ on the Hamiltonian, where $\dagger$ represents the mathematical operation of complex conjugation and matrix…
