We construct an exactly solvable PT-symmetric example of Sturmian bound states which exist in the absence of any confining potential. Their origin is purely topological -- these states live on certain nontrivial contours of complex…
In paper I [M. Znojil and G. L\'evai, Phys. Lett. A 271 (2000) 327] we introduced the Coulomb - Kratzer bound-state problem in its cryptohermitian, PT-symmetric version. An instability of the original model is revealed and its necessary…
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…
The zeros of the eigenfunctions of self-adjoint Sturm-Liouville eigenvalue problems interlace. For these problems interlacing is crucial for completeness. For the complex Sturm-Liouville problem associated with the Schrodinger equation for…
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…
In many PT symmetric models with real spectra, apparently, energy levels "merge and disappear" at a point of the spontaneous PT-symmetry breaking. We argue that such an oversimplified and discontinuous physical interpretation of this…
This paper deals with the Sturm-Liouville problem with singular potential of the Sobolev space $W_2^{-1}$ and polynomials of the spectral parameter in a boundary condition. We prove the uniform boundedness and the uniform stability for the…
We consider the Sturm-Liouville operator Lu=u''-q(x)u with regular but not strongly regular boundary conditions. Under some supplementary assumptions we prove that the set of potentials q(x) that ensure an asymptotically multiple spectrum…
We investigate different types of complex soliton solutions with regard to their stability against linear pertubations. In the Bullough-Dodd scalar field theory we find linearly stable complex ${\cal{PT}}$-symmetric solutions and linearly…
The present article discusses the connection between exactly-solvable Schrodinger equations and the Liouville transformation. This transformation yields a large class of exactly-solvable potentials, including the exactly-solvable potentials…
We study parity-time-symmetric non-Hermitian quantum systems at finite temperature, where the Boltzmann distribution law fails to hold. To characterize their abnormal physical properties, a new quantum statistics theory (the so-called…
We describe the necessary and sufficient conditions for two sequences {\mu_n}^\infty_n=0 and {a_n}^\infty_n=0 to be correspondingly the set of eigenvalues and the set of norming constants of a Sturm-Liouville problem with real summable…
Existence of localized modes supported by the PT-symmetric nonlinear lattices is reported. The system considered reveals unusual properties: unlike other typical dissipative systems it possesses families (branches) of solutions, which can…
A procedure for constructing bound state potentials is given. We show that, under the natural conditions imposed on a radial eigenvalue problem, the only special cases of the general central potential, which are exactly solvable and have…
We summarize unusual bound or localized states in quantum mechanics. Our guide through these intriguing phenomena is the classical physics of the upside-down pendulum. Taking advantage of the analogy between the corresponding Newton's…

Continuous time-translation symmetry is often spontaneously broken in open quantum systems, and the condition for their emergence has been actively investigated. However, there are only a few cases in which its condition for appearance has…
