Abstract

A method which is useful in the region beyond the scope of n-formalism is obtained in a course of study on the quantization of matter with super-ligft velocity.

Suraj N. Gupta

The formalism of quantum mechanics in a vector space with an indefinite metric is developed in a simplified way, and the properties of the indefinite vector space are discussed in detail with particular attention to vectors of negative and vanishing norms. It is shown how the present formalism simplifies the use of the indefinite metric in physical applications.

PT-symmetric quantum models living in an auxiliary Pontryagin space

Miloslav Znojil

An extension of the scope of quantum theory is proposed in a way inspired by the recent heuristic as well as phenomenological success of the use of non-Hermitian Hamiltonians which are merely required self-adjoint in a Krein space with an indefinite metric (chosen, usually, as the operator of parity). In nuce, the parity-like operators are admitted to represent the mere indefinite metric in a Pontryagin space. A constructive version of such a generalized quantization strategy is outlined and, via a non-numerical illustrative example, found feasible.
