    Non-Hermitian von Roos Hamiltonian's η\eta-weak-pseudo-Hermiticity, isospectrality and exact solvability

    Full text link
    A complexified von Roos Hamiltonian is considered and a Hermitian first-order intertwining differential operator is used to obtain the related position dependent mass η\eta-weak-pseudo-Hermitian Hamiltonians. Using a Liouvillean-type change of variables, the η\eta-weak-pseudo-Hermitian von Roos Hamiltonians H(x) are mapped into the traditional Schrodinger Hamiltonian form H(q), where exact isospectral correspondence between H(x) and H(q) is obtained. Under a user-friendly position dependent mass settings, it is observed that for each exactly-solvable η\eta-weak-pseudo-Hermitian reference-Hamiltonian H(q)there is a set of exactly-solvable η\eta-weak-pseudo-Hermitian isospectral target-Hamiltonians H(x). A non-Hermitian PT-symmetric Scarf II and a non-Hermitian periodic-type PT-symmetric Samsonov-Roy potentials are used as reference models and the corresponding η\eta-weak-pseudo-Hermitian isospectral target-Hamiltonians are obtained.Comment: 11 pages, no figures

    On computing joint invariants of vector fields

    Full text link
    A constructive version of the Frobenius integrability theorem -- that can be programmed effectively -- is given. This is used in computing invariants of groups of low ranks and recover examples from a recent paper of Boyko, Patera and Popoyvich \cite{BPP}
