Infinite series of time-dependent Dyson maps

Abstract

We propose and explore a scheme that leads to an infinite series of time- dependent Dyson maps which associate different Hermitian Hamiltonians to a uniquely specified time-dependent non-Hermitian Hamiltonian. We identify the underlying sym- metries responsible for this feature respected by various Lewis-Riesenfeld invariants. The latter are used to facilitate the explicit construction of the Dyson maps and metric oper- ators. As a concrete example for which the scheme is worked out in detail we present a two-dimensional system of oscillators that are coupled to each other in a non-Hermitian PT -symmetrical fashion
