Fermionic systems differ from their bosonic counterparts, the main difference with regard to symmetry considerations being that $T^2=-1$ for fermionic systems. In PT-symmetric quantum mechanics an operator has both PT and CPT adjoints. Fermionic operators $eta$, which are quadratically nilpotent ($eta^2=0$), and algebras with PT and CPT adjoints can be constructed. These algebras obey different anticommutation relations: $etaeta^{PT}+eta^{PT}eta=-1$, where $eta^{PT}$ is the PT adjoint of $eta$, and $etaeta^{CPT}+eta^{CPT}eta=1$, where $eta^{CPT}$ is the CPT adjoint of $eta$. This paper presents matrix representations for the operator $eta$ and its PT and CPT adjoints in two and four dimensions. A PT-symmetric second-quantized Hamiltonian modeled on quantum electrodynamics that describes a system of interacting fermions and bosons is constructed within this framework and is solved exactly.

The quantum mechanical brachistochrone system with PT-symmetric Hamiltonian is Naimark dilated and reinterpreted as subsystem of a Hermitian system in a higher-dimensional Hilbert space. This opens a way to a direct experimental implementation of the recently hypothesized PT-symmetric ultra-fast brachistochrone regime of [C. M. Bender et al, Phys. Rev. Lett. {bf 98}, 040403 (2007)] in an entangled two-spin system.
One-dimensional PT-symmetric quantum-mechanical Hamiltonians having continuous spectra are studied. The Hamiltonians considered have the form $H=p^2+V(x)$, where $V(x)$ is odd in $x$, pure imaginary, and vanishes as $|x|toinfty$. Five PT-symmetric potentials are studied: the Scarf-II potential $V_1(x)=iA_1,{rm sech}(x)tanh(x)$, which decays exponentially for large $|x|$; the rational potentials $V_2(x)=iA_2,x/(1+x^4)$ and $V_3(x)=iA_3,x/(1+|x|^3)$, which decay algebraically for large $|x|$; the step-function potential $V_4(x)=iA_4,{rm sgn}(x)theta(2.5-|x|)$, which has compact support; the regulated Coulomb potential $V_5(x)=iA_5,x/(1+x^2)$, which decays slowly as $|x|toinfty$ and may be viewed as a long-range potential. The real parameters $A_n$ measure the strengths of these potentials. Numerical techniques for solving the time-independent Schrodinger eigenvalue problems associated with these potentials reveal that the spectra of the corresponding Hamiltonians exhibit universal properties. In general, the eigenvalues are partly real and partly complex. The real eigenvalues form the continuous part of the spectrum and the complex eigenvalues form the discrete part of the spectrum. The real eigenvalues range continuously in value from $0$ to $+infty$. The complex eigenvalues occur in discrete complex-conjugate pairs and for $V_n(x)$ ($1leq nleq4$) the number of these pairs is finite and increases as the value of the strength parameter $A_n$ increases. However, for $V_5(x)$ there is an {it infinite} sequence of discrete eigenvalues with a limit point at the origin. This sequence is complex, but it is similar to the Balmer series for the hydrogen atom because it has inverse-square convergence.
The PT-symmetric (PTS) quantum brachistochrone problem is reanalyzed as quantum system consisting of a non-Hermitian PTS component and a purely Hermitian component simultaneously. Interpreting this specific setup as subsystem of a larger Hermitian system, we find non-unitary operator equivalence classes (conjugacy classes) as natural ingredient which contain at least one Dirac-Hermitian representative. With the help of a geometric analysis the compatibility of the vanishing passage time solution of a PTS brachistochrone with the Anandan-Aharonov lower bound for passage times of Hermitian brachistochrones is demonstrated.
We introduce four basic two-dimensional (2D) plaquette configurations with onsite cubic nonlinearities, which may be used as building blocks for 2D PT -symmetric lattices. For each configuration, we develop a dynamical model and examine its PT symmetry. The corresponding nonlinear modes are analyzed starting from the Hamiltonian limit, with zero value of the gain-loss coefficient. Once the relevant waveforms have been identified (chiefly, in an analytical form), their stability is examined by means of linearization in the vicinity of stationary points. This reveals diverse and, occasionally, fairly complex bifurcations. The evolution of unstable modes is explored by means of direct simulations. In particular, stable localized modes are found in these systems, although the majority of identified solutions is unstable.
We study the meromorphic open-string vertex algebras and their modules over the two-dimensional Riemannian manifolds that are complete, connected, orientable, and of constant sectional curvature $K eq 0$. Using the parallel tensors, we explicitly determine a basis for the meromorphic open-string vertex algebra, its modules generated by eigenfunctions of the Laplace-Beltrami operator, and their irreducible quotients. We also study the modules generated by lowest weight subspace satisfying a geometrically interesting condition. It is showed that every irreducible module of this type is generated by some (local) eigenfunction on the manifold. A classification is given for modules of this type admitting a composition series of finite length. In particular and remarkably, if every composition factor is generated by eigenfunctions of eigenvalue $p(p-1)K$ for some $pin mathbb{Z}_+$, then the module is completely reducible.
