Extension of the Theorem to non-Hermitian Hamiltonians and Unstable States
Philip D. Mannheim
We extend the theorem to quantum field theories with non-Hermitian Hamiltonians and unstable states. Our derivation is a quite minimal one as it requires only the time indepe…
Antilinearity Rather than Hermiticity as a Guiding Principle for Quantum Theory
Philip D. Mannheim
Currently there is much interest in Hamiltonians that are not Hermitian but instead possess an antilinear symmetry, since such Hamiltonians can still lead to the time-independ…
Advancing the case for Symmetry -- the Hamiltonian is always Symmetric
Philip D. Mannheim
While a Hamiltonian can be both Hermitian and symmetric, it is symmetry that is the more general, as it can lead to real energy eigenvalues even if the Hamiltonian is not…
Colloquium on the Higgs Boson
Philip D. Mannheim
In 2013 the Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to Francois Englert and Peter Higgs for their development in 1964 of the mass generation mechanism (the Higgs mechanism) in local gau…
Comment on "Problems with Mannheim's conformal gravity program"
Philip D. Mannheim
Recently in Phys. Rev. D 88, 027504 (2013) Yoon has suggested that there may be problems for the non-relativistic limit of the conformal gravity theory. Here we show that Yoon's re…
Living Without Supersymmetry -- the Conformal Alternative and a Dynamical Higgs Boson
Philip D. Mannheim
We show that key results of supersymmetry can be achieved via conformal symmetry. We propose that the Higgs boson be a dynamical bound state rather than an elementary scalar, so th…
