Exceptional Points, Nonnormal Matrices, Hierarchy of Spin Matrices and an Eigenvalue Problem

Abstract: Exceptional points of a class of non-hermitian Hamilton operators

h a t H

of the form

h a t H = h a t H_{0} + i h a t H_{1}

are studied, where

h a t H_{0}

and

h a t H_{1}

are hermitian operators. Finite dimensional Hilbert spaces are considered. The linear operators

h a t H_{0}

and

h a t H_{1}

are given by spin matrices for spin

s = 1 / 2, 1, 3 / 2, d o t s

. Since the linear operators studied are nonnormal, properties of such operators are described.
