Nonlinear pseudo-supersymmetry in the framework of -fold supersymmetry
Artemio González-López, Toshiaki Tanaka
We recall the importance of recognizing the different mathematical nature of various concepts relating to -symmetric quantum theories. After clarifying the relation between supersymmetry and pseudo-supersymmetry, we prove generically that nonlinear pseudo-supersymmetry, recently proposed by Sinha and Roy, is just a special case of -fold supersymmetry. In particular, we show that all the models constructed by these authors have type A two-fold supersymmetry. Furthermore, we prove that an arbitrary one-body quantum Hamiltonian which admits two (local) solutions in closed form belongs to type A two-fold supersymmetry, irrespective of whether or not it is Hermitian, -symmetric, pseudo-Hermitian and so on.
