Properties of non-hermitian quantum field theories

Carl M. Bender (2003)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

In this paper I discuss quantum systems whose Hamiltonians are non-Hermitian but whose energy levels are all real and positive. Such theories are required to be symmetric under 𝒞 𝒫 𝒯 , but not symmetric under 𝒫 and 𝒯 separately. Recently, quantum mechanical systems having such properties have been investigated in detail. In this paper I extend the results to quantum field theories. Among the systems that I discuss are - φ 4 and i φ 3 theories. These theories all have unexpected and remarkable properties. I discuss...

Pure states on Jordan algebras

Jan Hamhalter (2001)

Mathematica Bohemica

We prove that a pure state on a C * -algebras or a JB algebra is a unique extension of some pure state on a singly generated subalgebra if and only if its left kernel has a countable approximative unit. In particular, any pure state on a separable JB algebra is uniquely determined by some singly generated subalgebra. By contrast, only normal pure states on JBW algebras are determined by singly generated subalgebras, which provides a new characterization of normal pure states. As an application we contribute...
