Journal ArticleDOI
Quasi-Hermitian operators in quantum mechanics and the variational principle
TL;DR: In this article, the authors establish a general criterion for a set of non-Hermitian operators to constitute a consistent quantum mechanical system, which allows for the normal quantum-mechanical interpretation.
Journal ArticleDOI
The large N behaviour of the Lipkin model and exceptional points
TL;DR: In this paper, the ubiquitous Lipkin model is investigated for an interaction parameter beyond the traditional critical point, and it is argued that a phase transition occurs higher up in the spectrum for such larger interaction, where, using appropriate scaling of the energies, the position of the phase transition becomes independent of the particle number.
Journal ArticleDOI
Operator equations and Moyal products–metrics in quasi-Hermitian quantum mechanics
Frederik G. Scholtz,H.B. Geyer +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the Moyal product is used to cast the equation for the metric of a non-Hermitian Hamiltonian in the form of a differential equation, and explicit criteria for the hermiticity and positive definiteness of the metric are formulated on the functional level.
Journal ArticleDOI
Unveiling s- and d-bosons in even- and odd- A nuclei
H.B. Geyer,F.J.W. Hahne +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the generalized Dyson-Maleev boson mapping is applied to the Ginocchio model which is formulated in terms of bifermion operators which are generators of an SO(8) algebra.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adequacy of the boson basis and the identification of spurious states
TL;DR: It is shown that it is not necessary to resort to an explicit mapping of the fermion basis into the boson space when bifermion excitations are treated in a boson picture.
