Electric fields, applied to insulators, cause transitions between valence and conduction bands, giving rise to current. Adjustments of the Hamiltonian can perfect the quality of the insulator, shutting down transitions whilst fully…
Theories in physics can provide a kind of map of the physical system under investigation, showing all of the possible types of behavior which may occur. Certain points on the map are of greater significance than others, because they…
The Conditional Probability Interpretation (CPI), first introduced by Page and Wootters, is reviewed and refined. It is argued that in it's refined form the CPI is capable of answering various past criticisms. In particular, questions…
We establish endpoint bounds on a Hardy space $H^1$ for a natural class of multiparameter singular integral operators which do not decay away from the support of rectangular atoms. Hence the usual argument via a Journ\'e-type covering lemma…
Exceptional points (EPs) are peculiar band singularities and play a vital role in a rich array of unusual optical phenomena and non-Hermitian band theory. In this paper, we provide a topological classification of isolated EPs based on…
Non-Hermitian many-body systems can be spectrally unstable, so small perturbations may induce large eigenvalue shifts. The pseudospectrum quantifies this instability and provides a perturbation-robust diagnostic. For inverse-polynomially…

The conventional toy-model constructions of phase diagrams often use various versions of the standard Hermitian Bose-Hubbard Hamiltonians $H$. These studies were recently extended to cover several non-Hermitian PT-symmetric versions of the…
Exceptional points (EPs) are special parameter values of a non-Hermitian eigenvalue problem where eigenfunctions corresponding to a multiple eigenvalue coalesce. In optics, EPs are associated with a number of counter-intuitive wave…
Non-Hermitian quantum one-parametric $N$ by $N$ matrix Hamiltonians $H^{(N)}(\lambda)$ with real spectra are considered. Their special choice $H^{(N)}(\lambda)=J^{(N)}+\lambda\,V^{(N)}(\lambda)$ is studied at small $\lambda$, with a general…
We propose a noncommutative version of the Euclidean Lie algebra $E_2$. Several types of non-Hermitian Hamiltonian systems expressed in terms of generic combinations of the generators of this algebra are investigated. Using the breakdown of…

The three simultaneous algebraic equations, $C^2=1$, $[C,PT]=0$, $[C,H]=0$, which determine the $C$ operator for a non-Hermitian $PT$-symmetric Hamiltonian $H$, are shown to have a nonunique solution. Specifically, the $C$ operator for the…
Critical thermodynamics close to a metamagnetic quantum critical endpoint (QCEP) in a metal is discussed within the framework of spin-fluctuation theory. We analyze the effective potential for the Ising order parameter that is renormalized…

The purpose of this paper is to prove that the spectrum of the non-self-adjoint one-particle Hamiltonian proposed by J. Feinberg and A. Zee (Phys. Rev. E 59 (1999), 6433--6443) has interior points. We do this by first recalling that the…
A quantum system whose internal Hamiltonian is not strongly regular or/and control Hamiltonians are not full connected, are thought to be in the degenerate cases. In this paper, convergence problems of the multi-control Hamiltonians closed…
