abstract

We show that a diagonalizable (non-Hermitian) Hamiltonian H is pseudo-Hermitian if and only if it has an antilinear symmetry, i.e., a symmetry generated by an invertible antilinear operator. This implies that the eigenvalues of H are real or come in complex conjugate pairs if and only if H possesses such a symmetry. In particular, the reality of the spectrum of H implies the presence of an antilinear symmetry. We further show that the spectrum of H is real if and only if there is a positive-definite inner-product on the Hilbert space with respect to which H is Hermitian or alternatively there is a pseudo-canonical transformation of the Hilbert space that maps H into a Hermitian operator.

Hadronic exceptional points

hep-ph · 2026-06-30 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Imaginary magnetic fields induce exceptional points in neutral meson mass spectra computed via hadronic effective Lagrangian and constituent quark models, separating real and complex eigenvalue regimes.

CFT Dual for Timelike Geodesic in Lorentzian dS

hep-th · 2026-06-27 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Analytic continuation produces a PT-invariant CFT state reproducing the Bunch-Davies Wightman function for dS, but entanglement entropy captures only real central charge, motivating a timelike geodesic-integrated dual for OPE block correlators and conformal defects from dS/CFT symmetry.
