We construct families of Hamiltonians extending the Calogero model and such that a finite number of eigenvectors can be computed algebraically.
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…
Sturmian bound states emerging at a fixed energy and numbered by a complete set of real eigencouplings are considered. For Sturm-Schroedinger equations which are manifestly non-Hermitian we outline the way along which the correct…
PT symmetric complex potential V(r) = - r^4 + i a r^3 + b r^2 + i c r + i d/r + e/r^2 is studied. Arbitrarily large multiplets of its closed bound-state solutions with real energies are shown obtainable quasi-exactly (i.e., with a certain…
We propose a new solvable one-dimensional complex PT-symmetric potential as $V(x)= ig~ \mbox{sgn}(x)~ |1-\exp(2|x|/a)|$ and study the spectrum of $H=-d^2/dx^2+V(x)$. For smaller values of $a,g <1$, there is a finite number of real discrete…
Translationally invariant symmetric polynomials as coordinates for $N$-body problems with identical particles are proposed. It is shown that in those coordinates the Calogero and Sutherland $N$-body Hamiltonians, after appropriate gauge…

We present a surprising redefinition of matrix fermions which brings the supercharges of the $\cal N$-extended supersymmetric $A_{n-1}$ Calogero model introduced in [1] to the standard form maximally cubic in the fermions. The complexity of…
Recently, a class of PT-invariant quantum mechanical models described by the non-Hermitian Hamiltonian $H=p^2+x^2(ix)^\epsilon$ was studied. It was found that the energy levels for this theory are real for all $\epsilon\geq0$. Here, the…
It is known that the perfect absorption of two identical waves incident on a complex potential from left and right can occur at a fixed real energy and that the time-reversed setting of this system would act as a laser at threshold at the…
We construct an isospectrum systems in terms of a real and complex potential to show that the underlying PT symmetric Hamiltonian possesses a real spectrum which is shared by its real partner.
For the PT symmetric potential of Dorey, Dunning and Tateo we show that in the large angular momentum (i.e., strongly spiked) limit the low-lying eigenstates of this popular non-Hermitian problem coincide with the shifted Hermitian harmonic…
In a PT symmetrically complexified square well, bound states are constructed by the matching technique. Their energies prove real in a domain of weak non-Hermiticity, and continuous in the Hermitian limit. At a sequence of certain…
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…
A classical Calogero model in an external harmonic potential is known to be integrable for any number of particles. We consider here reductions which play a role of "soliton" solutions of the model. We obtain these solutions both for the…
We show that the PT symmetric Hamiltonians (and their generalizations defined in the text) may be all assigned the projected (so called Feshbach or effective) nonlinear Hamiltonians which are "locally" Hermitian. This implies that many (if…
We introduce hermiticity as a new symmetry and show that when starting with a model which is Hermitian in the classical level, quantum corrections can break hermiticity while the theory stay physically acceptable. To show this, we…
