Quantum toboggans: models exhibiting a multisheeted PT symmetry
arXiv:0710.1485 · doi:10.1088/1742-6596/128/1/012046
Abstract
A generalization of the concept of PT-symmetric Hamiltonians H=p^2+V(x) is described. It uses analytic potentials V(x) (with singularities) and a generalized concept of PT-symmetric asymptotic boundary conditions. Nontrivial toboggans are defined as integrated along topologically nontrivial paths of coordinates running over several Riemann sheets of wave functions.
