PT-symmetric potentials $V({x}) = -{x}^4 +\j B {x}^3 + C {x}^2+\j D {x} +\j F/{x} +G/{x}^2$ are quasi-exactly solvable, i.e., a specific choice of a small $G=G^{(QES)}= integer/4$ is known to lead to wave functions $\psi^{(QES)}(x)$ in…
We study $p$-energies on post critically finite (p.c.f.) self-similar sets for $1<p<\infty$, as limits of discrete $p$-energies on approximation graphs, extending the construction of Dirichlet forms, the $p=2$ setting. By suitably enlarging…
Two port s-matrix for a complex PT-symmetric potential may have uni-modular eigenvalues. If this happens for all energies, there occurs a perfect emission of waves at both ends. We call this phenomenon transparency which is distinctly…
The ISR and the 7 TeV LHC data indicate that the differential cross-section of elastic proton-proton scattering remains almost energy-independent at the transferred momentum $t\approx - 0.21\, \mathrm{GeV}^{2}$ at the level of $\approx 7.5…
Experts know that bound state energy eigenvalues of a potential well are poles of its transmission amplitude, $t(E)$. The textbooks do well by solving the bound states and scattering states separately, but the connection goes unheeded.…
The inverse electromagnetic scattering problem for anisotropic media in general does not have a unique solution. A possible approach to this problem is through the use of appropriate "target signatures," i.e. eigenvalues associated with the…
Scattering on the ${\cal PT}$-symmetric Coulomb potential is studied along a U-shaped trajectory circumventing the origin in the complex $x$ plane from below. This trajectory reflects ${\cal PT}$ symmetry, sets the appropriate boundary…
We obtain a closed form expression for the energy spectrum of $\mathcal{P}\mathcal{T}$-symmetric superlattice systems with complex potentials of periodic sets of two $\delta$-potentials in the elementary cell. In the presence of periodic…
We discuss a curious observation: at energies from the ISR and up to the LHC, inclusively, the differential cross-section of elastic proton-proton scattering remains almost energy-independent at the transferred momentum t =-0.21 GeV^2 at…
We report the result of our calculation of the nuclear spin-independent parity violating electric dipole transition amplitude ($E1_{PV}$) for the $6s ~ ^2S_{1/2} - 7s ~ ^2S_{1/2}$ transition in $^{133}$Cs to an accuracy of 0.3\% using a…
Our improved calculation of the nuclear spin-independent parity violating electric dipole transition amplitude ($E1_{PV}$) for $6s ~ ^2S_{1/2} - 7s ~ ^2S_{1/2}$ in $^{133}$Cs in combination with the most accurate (0.3\%) measurement of this…
Epsilon-near-zero and epsilon near-pole materials enable reflective systems supporting a class of symmetry-protected and accidental embedded eigenstates (EE) characterized by a diverging phase-resonance. Here we show that pairs of…
Recent investigations by Bender and Boettcher (Phys. Rev. Lett 80, 5243 (1998)) and Mezincescu (J. Phys. A. 33, 4911 (2000)) have argued that the discrete spectrum of the non-hermitian potential $V(x) = -ix^3$ should be real. We give…
We compute the vacuum polarization energies (VPE) of solitons in a self-dual impurity model in which the soliton profiles take the shape of a separated kink-antikink pair. Classically the soliton energies are invariant under the change of a…
Low-energy elastic and inelastic scattering in the Ps(1$s$)-Ps(2$s$) channel is treated in a four-body hyperspherical coordinate calculation. Adiabatic potentials are calculated for triplet-triplet, singlet-singlet, and singlet-triplet spin…
Exact solvability of the discretized N-point version of the PT-symmetric square-well model is pointed out. Its wave functions are found proportional to the classical Tshebyshev polynomials of a complex argument. At all N a compact secular…
We study a single component (i.e., single valley, spin-polarized) two-dimensional electron gas with $C_{3v}$ symmetry tuned to a Van-Hove (VH) singularity. Generically, there may be either three or six VH points at the Fermi level, related…
We complexify a 1-d potential which exhibits bound, reflecting and free states to study various properties of a non-Hermitian system. This potential turns out a PT-symmetric non-Hermitian potential when one of the parameters becomes…
We address the question of how to improve the agreement between theoretical nuclear single-particle energies (SPEs) and experiment. Empirically, in doubly magic nuclei, the SPEs can be deduced from spectroscopic properties of odd nuclei…
We show that the potential wells with a central spike V(x) = x^{10} + a x^8 + b x^6+ c x^4 + d x^2 + f/x^2 possess arbitrary finite multiplets of elementary exact bound states. The strong asymptotic growth of V(x) implies an ambiguity in…
