A Hamiltonian $H$ that is not Hermitian can still have a real and complete energy eigenspectrum if it instead is $PT$ symmetric. For such Hamiltonians three possible inner products have been considered in the literature, the $V$ norm, the…

We consider the unperturbed operator $H_0 : = (-i \nabla - A)^2 + W$, self-adjoint in $L^2(\R^2)$. Here $A$ is a magnetic potential which generates a constant magnetic field $b>0$, and the edge potential $W$ is a non-decreasing non constant…

While a Hamiltonian can be both Hermitian and $PT$ symmetric, it is $PT$ symmetry that is the more general, as it can lead to real energy eigenvalues even if the Hamiltonian is not Hermitian. We discuss some specific ways in which $PT$…
