The energy density of an Ising half plane lattice
We compute the energy density at arbitrary temperature of the half plane
Ising lattice with a boundary magnetic field at a distance rows from
the boundary and compare limiting cases of the exact expression with recent
calculations at done by means of discrete complex analysis methods.Comment: 12 pages, 1 figur
Metrics and isospectral partners for the most generic cubic PT-symmetric non-Hermitian Hamiltonian
We investigate properties of the most general PT-symmetric non-Hermitian
Hamiltonian of cubic order in the annihilation and creation operators as a ten
parameter family. For various choices of the parameters we systematically
construct an exact expression for a metric operator and an isospectral
Hermitian counterpart in the same similarity class by exploiting the
isomorphism between operator and Moyal products. We elaborate on the subtleties
of this approach. For special choices of the ten parameters the Hamiltonian
reduces to various models previously studied, such as to the complex cubic
potential, the so-called Swanson Hamiltonian or the transformed version of the
from below unbounded quartic -x^4-potential. In addition, it also reduces to
various models not considered in the present context, namely the single site
lattice Reggeon model and a transformed version of the massive sextic
x^6-potential, which plays an important role as a toy modelto identify theories
with vanishing cosmological constant.Comment: 21 page
