Linear operators on spaces with an indefinite metric (47B50) Selfadjoint operator theory in quantum theory, including spectral analysis (81Q10)

Abstract: Among $calP$-pseudo-Hermitian Hamiltonians $$ with real spectra, the weakly pseudo-Hermitian" ones (i.e., those employing non-self-adjoint $calPeq{calP}^{d}agger$) form a remarkable subfamily. We list some reasons why it deserves a special attention. In particular we show that whenever $calPeq{calP}^{d}agger$, the current involutive operator of charge $calC$ gets complemented by a nonequivalent alternative involutive quasiparity operator $calQ$. We show how, in this language, the standard quantum mechanics is restored via the two alternative inner products in the physical Hilbert space of states, with $<ps{i}_1|calPQ|ps{i}_2>=<ps{i}_1|calCP|ps{i}_2>$.
