We analyze the stability of a non-Hermitian coupler with respect to modulational inhomogeneous perturbations in the presence of unbalanced gain and loss. At the parity-time (PT) symmetry point the coupler is unstable. Suitable symmetry…
Two-dimensional topological insulators protected by nonlocal symmetries or with fragile topology usually do not admit robust in-gap edge modes due to the incompatibility between the symmetry and the boundary. Here, we show that in a…
Closed expressions are derived for the pseudo-norm, norm and orthogonality relations for arbitrary bound states of the PT symmetric and the Hermitian Scarf II potential for the first time. The pseudo-norm is found to have indefinite sign in…
We report the bright solitons of the generalized Gross-Pitaevskii (GP) equation with some types of physically relevant parity-time-(PT-) and non-PT-symmetric potentials. We find that the constant momentum coefficient can modulate the linear…
We address the properties of fully three-dimensional solitons in complex parity-time (PT)-symmetric periodic lattices with focusing Kerr nonlinearity, and uncover that such lattices can stabilize both, fundamental and vortex-carrying…
We study resonant mode conversion in the PT-symmetric multimode waveguides, where symmetry breaking manifests itself in sequential destabilization (appearance of the complex eigenvalues) of the pairs of adjacent guided modes. We show that…
We consider quantum many body systems with generalized symmetries, such as the higher form symmetries introduced recently, and the "tensor symmetry". We consider a general form of lattice Hamiltonians which allow a certain level of…
We show that the balance between localized gain and nonlinear cubic dissipation in the twodimensional nonlinear Schrodinger equation allows for existence of stable two-dimensional localized modes which we identify as solitons. Such modes…
We study the effect of localized modes in lattices of size N with parity-time (PT) symmetry. Such modes are arranged in pairs of quasi-degenerate levels with splitting delta exp{-N/xi}, where \xi is their localization length. The level…
It is known that stable 2D solitons of the semi-vortex (SV) and mixed-mode (MM) types are maintained by the interplay of the cubic attractive nonlinearity and spin-orbit coupling (SOC) in binary Bose-Einstein condensates. We introduce a…
For the one-dimensional nonlinear Schroedinger equations with parity-time (PT) symmetric potentials, it is shown that when a real symmetric potential is perturbed by weak PT-symmetric perturbations, continuous families of asymmetric…
We prove the reality of the perturbed eigenvalues of some PT symmetric Hamiltonians of physical interest by means of stability methods. In particular we study 2-dimensional generalized harmonic oscillators with polynomial perturbation and…
A novel perturbative analysis for the 2+1 local supercritical field theory of pomerons is developed. It is based on the PT symmetry of the model which allows to study a similar Hamiltonian with the same real perturbative spectrum. In the…
A key feature of integrable systems is that they can be solved to obtain exact analytical solutions. We show how new models can be constructed through generalisations of some well known nonlinear partial differential equations with…
The dynamics of an open quantum system with balanced gain and loss is not described by a PT-symmetric Hamiltonian but rather by Lindblad operators. Nevertheless the phenomenon of PT-symmetry breaking and the impact of exceptional points can…
In this article, the non-Hermitian characteristics of three-dimensional PT-symmetric coupled electronic resonators are theoretically analyzed. First, the concept of non-Hermitian PT symmetry is illustrated in the context of electronics…
This article offers a review of results for solitons in 2D and 3D models of nonlinear dissipative media. The existence of such solitons requires to maintain two balances: between nonlinear self-focusing and linear diffraction and/or…
Multi-dimensional complex optical potentials with partial parity-time (PT) symmetry are proposed. The usual PT symmetry requires that the potential is invariant under complex conjugation and simultaneous reflection in all spatial…
PT-symmetric quantum mechanics began with a study of the Hamiltonian $H=p^2+x^2(ix)^\varepsilon$. When $\varepsilon\geq0$, the eigenvalues of this non-Hermitian Hamiltonian are discrete, real, and positive. This portion of parameter space…
The $\mathcal{PT}$ symmetry breaking threshold in discrete realizations of systems with balanced gain and loss is determined by the effective coupling between the gain and loss sites. In one dimensional chains, this threshold is maximum…
