Selfadjoint operator theory in quantum theory, including spectral analysis (81Q10)

Abstract: We study a $PT$-symmetric quantum mechanical model with an O(N)-symmetric potential of the form $m^{2}vec{x}^2/2-g(vec{x}^2{)}^2/N$ using its equivalent Hermitian form. Although the corresponding classical model has finite-energy trajectories that escape to infinity, the spectrum of the quantum theory is proven to consist only of bound states for all $N$. We show that the model has two distinct phases in the large-$N$ limit, with different scaling behaviors as $N$ goes to infinity. The two phases are separated by a first-order phase transition at a critical value of the dimensionless parameter $m^2/g^{2/3}$, given by $3cdot{2}^{1/3}$.
