Pseudo Hermitian Interactions in the Dirac Equation

Abstract: We consider a (2 + 1)-dimensional massless Dirac equation in the presence of complex vector potentials. It is shown that such vector potentials (leading to complex magnetic fields) can produce bound states, and the Dirac Hamiltonians are η-pseudo Hermitian. Some examples have been explicitly worked out.

“…Recent theoretical work shows (see [150,168,151,169,153]) that the mass bounds for such an excited neutrino which can be derived from double beta decay are at least of the same order of magnitude as those coming from the direct search of excited states in high energy accelerators (see also Sec. 3).…”

“…A complete discussion of pseudo-hermiticity and its relationship to related concepts like PT -symmetry and quasi-hermiticity is provided in the monograph [27]. Recent applications of pseudo-hermitian quantum systems concern periodic Hamiltonians [21], dynamical invariants [31], relativistic models [28], random matrix theory [32], among others. While the concepts of pseudo-hermiticity and PT -symmetry have been studied extensively, they have not yet been applied to quantum systems that feature energy-dependent potentials [12].…”
