Quasi-Hermitian supersymmetric extensions of such Hamiltonians are proposed by enlarging su(1,1) to a ${\\rm su}(1,1/1) \\sim {\\rm osp}(2/2, \\R)$ superalgebra. This allows the construction of new non-Hermitian Hamiltonians related by similarity to Hermitian ones. Some examples of them are reviewed.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2008-06-03T12:52:47.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "03.65.Fd", "11.30.Pb" ], "keywords": [ "quasi-hermitian supersymmetric extensions", "non-hermitian oscillator hamiltonian", "generalizations", "positive-definite metric operators", "harmonic oscillator hamiltonian" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "Journal of Physics A Mathematical General", "year": 2008, "month": "Jun", "volume": 41, "number": 24, "pages": 244022 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 15, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 764079, "adsabs": "2008JPhA...41x4022Q" } } }
