Spectrum-generating algebra and intertwiners of the resonant Pais-Uhlenbeck oscillator

Andreas Fring, Ian Marquette, Takano Taira

We study the quantum Pais-Uhlenbeck oscillator at the resonant (equal-frequency) point, where the dynamics becomes non-diagonalisable and the conventional Fock-space construction c…

Ghost-Free Quantisation of Higher Time-Derivative Theories via Non-Unitary Similarity Transformations

Andreas Fring, Takano Taira, Bethan Turner

We address the long-standing ``ghost problem" in higher time-derivative theories (HTDTs), where quantisation typically yields sectors with either unbounded spectra or non-normalisa…

Exact treatment of the memory kernel under time-dependent system-environment coupling via a train of delta distributions

Yuta Uenaga, Kensuke Gallock-Yoshimura, Takano Taira

Memory effects in a quantum system coupled to an environment are one of the central features in the theory of open quantum systems. The dynamics of such quantum systems are typical…

Breakdown of the Meissner effect at the zero exceptional point in non-Hermitian two-band BCS model

Takano Taira

The spontaneous symmetry breaking of a continuous symmetry in complex field theory at the exceptional point of the parameter space is known to exhibit interesting phenomena, such a…

Real energies and Berry phases in all PT-regimes in time-dependent non-Hermitian theories

Andreas Fring, Takanobu Taira, Rebecca Tenney

We demonstrate that the existence of a Hermitian time-dependent intertwining operator that maps the non-Hermitian time-dependent energy operator to its Hermitian conjugate and its…

Moduli spaces for PT-regularized solitons

Francisco Correa, Andreas Fring, Takanobu Taira

We construct and analyse the moduli space (collective coordinates) for a classical field theory in 1 + 1 dimensions that possesses complex stable multi-soliton solutions with real…

Non-Hermitian gauge field theories and BPS limits

Andreas Fring, Takanobu Taira

We present an overview of some key results obtained in a recent series devoted to non-Hermitian quantum field theories for which we systematically modify the underlying symmetries.…
