• Abstract summary: We show a non-Hermitian Parity-Time ($mathcalPT$) symmetric field theory for an axion coupled to a fermion in spacetime dimensions. The global flow pattern indicates flows from positive $u$ to negative $u$; there are no flows between real and imaginary $g$.

• Abstract: The renormalisation group flow of a Hermitian field theory is shown to have trajectories which lead to a non-Hermitian Parity-Time ($\mathcal{PT}$) symmetric field theory for an axion coupled to a fermion in spacetime dimensions $D=4-\epsilon$, where $\epsilon >0 $. In this renormalisable field theory, the Dirac fermion field has a Yukawa coupling $g$ to a pseudoscalar (axion) field and there is quartic pseudoscalar self-coupling $u$. The robustness of this finding is established by considering flows between $\epsilon$ dpependent Wilson-Fisher fixed points and also by working to \emph{three loops} in the Yukawa coupling and to \emph{two loops} in the quartic scalar coupling. The flows in the neighbourhood of the non-trivial fixed points are calculated using perturbative analysis, together with the $\epsilon$ expansion. The global flow pattern indicates flows from positive $u$ to negative $u$; there are no flows between real and imaginary $g$. Using summation techniques we demonstrate a possible non-perturbative $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric saddle point for $D=3$.

  Under nonlinear measurements, most prior results are non-uniform, i.e., they hold with high probability for a fixed $mathbfx*$ rather than for all $mathbfx*$ simultaneously. Our framework accommodates GCS with 1-bit/uniformly quantized observations and single index models as canonical examples. We also develop a concentration inequality that produces tighter bounds for product processes whose index sets have low metric entropy.

We show how $PT$ symmetry may allow interpretations that evade ghosts and instabilities present in an interpretation of the theory within a Hermitian framework.
