PT-symmetric interpretation of unstable effective potentials
Carl M. Bender, Daniel W. Hook, Nick E. Mavromatos +1
The conventional interpretation of the one-loop effective potentials of the Higgs field in the Standard Model and the gravitino condensate in dynamically broken supergravity is tha…
Infinitely many inequivalent field theories from one Lagrangian
Carl M. Bender, Daniel W. Hook, Nick E. Mavromatos +1
Logarithmic time-like Liouville quantum field theory has a generalized PT invariance, where T is the time-reversal operator and P stands for an S-duality reflection of the Liouvill…
Universal spectral behavior of potentials
Carl M. Bender, Daniel W. Hook
The PT-symmetric Hamiltonian ( real) exhibits a phase transition at . When , the eigenvalues are all real, positive, discrete, and grow as inc…
Negative-energy PT-symmetric Hamiltonians
Carl M. Bender, Daniel W. Hook, S. P. Klevansky
The non-Hermitian PT-symmetric quantum-mechanical Hamiltonian has real, positive, and discrete eigenvalues for all . These eigenvalues are analytic conti…
Quantum tunneling as a classical anomaly
Carl M. Bender, Daniel W. Hook
Classical mechanics is a singular theory in that real-energy classical particles can never enter classically forbidden regions. However, if one regulates classical mechanics by all…
Probability Density in the Complex Plane
Carl M. Bender, Daniel W. Hook, Peter N. Meisinger +1
The correspondence principle asserts that quantum mechanics resembles classical mechanics in the high-quantum-number limit. In the past few years many papers have been published on…
