• Title: Factorized Hilbert-space metrics and non-commutative quasi-Hermitian observables
• Authors: Miloslav Znojil
• Abstract summary: It is well known that an (in general, non-commutative) set of non-Hermitian operators $Lambda_j$ with real eigenvalues need not necessarily represent observables. We describe a specific class of quantum models in which these operators plus the underlying physical Hilbert-space metric $Theta$ are all represented.

• Abstract: It is well known that an (in general, non-commutative) set of non-Hermitian operators $\Lambda_j$ with real eigenvalues need not necessarily represent observables. We describe a specific class of quantum models in which these operators plus the underlying physical Hilbert-space metric $\Theta$ are all represented in terms of an auxiliary operator $(N+1)-$plet $Z_k$, $k=0,1,\ldots,N$. Our formalism degenerates to the ${\cal PT}-$symmetric quantum mechanics at $N=2$, with metric $\Theta=Z_2Z_1$, parity ${\cal P}=Z_2$, charge ${\cal C}=Z_1$ and Hamiltonian $H=Z_0$.

We will lift the bundles $L_Cpm$ and connection $A_hbar$ on them to the relativistic phase space $T*R3,1$ and couple them to the Dirac spinor bundle describing both particles and antiparticles.

  This paper introduces and describes a set of constructive returns of the description to one of the correct and eligible physical Hilbert spaces $cal R_N(0)$. In the extreme of the theory the construction is currently well known and involves solely the inner product metric $Theta=Theta(H)$. At $j=N$ the inner-product metric remains trivial and only the Hamiltonian must be Hermitized, $H to mathfrakh = Omega,H,Omega-1=mathfrak

  We build unitary models using non-Hermitian Hamiltonians (i.e., $H neq Hdagger$) which are Hermitizable. The necessary Hermiticity of the Hamiltonian $H = Hddagger$ can be achieved by the mere metric-mediated amendment $langle psi_a|psi_brangle$ to the inner product.

  The observables associated with a quantum system $S$ form a non-commutative algebra $mathcal A_S$. It is assumed that a density matrix $rho$ can be determined from the expectation values of observables. Abelian algebras do not have inner automorphisms, so the measurement apparatus can determine mean values of observables.
