  5. I. Energy dependence • WHAT IT IS • parametrized H = H(z) • equation H(z) |y(z)> = E(z) |y(z)> • nonlinearity z = E(z), solutions a-indexed • set = non-orthogonal, <a | b> = 1/R Villa Lanna, Prague

  6. I. Energy dependence • WHAT IT IS • parametrized H = H(z) • equation H(z) |y(z)> = E(z) |y(z)> • nonlinearity z = E(z), solutions a-indexed • set = non-orthogonal, <a | b> = 1/R • WHY IS IT USED/USEFUL • the Feshbach’s effective Hamiltonians • unifying physics below and above thresholds • QES kets: N-dependence = E-dependence Villa Lanna, Prague

  7. II. A complication or simplification? • THE IDEA OF SIMPLICITY • “effective” means less degrees of freedom • discrete freedom at every level Villa Lanna, Prague

  8. II. A complication or simplification? • THE IDEA OF SIMPLICITY • “effective” means less degrees of freedom • discrete freedom at every level • MODIFIED MATHEMATICS • I = S |a > R(a,b)<b| = S |a > <<a| = S|b>><b| Villa Lanna, Prague

  9. II. A complication or simplification? • THE IDEA OF SIMPLICITY • “effective” means less degrees of freedom • discrete freedom at every level • MODIFIED MATHEMATICS • I = S |a > R(a,b)<b| = S |a > <<a| = S|b>><b| • two possible “spectral decompositions” • left: L = S |a > R(a,b) E(b)<b| = S|b>> E(b)<b| • right: K = S |a > E(a) R(a,b)<b| = S|a> E(a)<<a| Villa Lanna, Prague

  10. III. Pseudo-Hermiticity of K and L • K = S|a> E(a)<<a| = h. c. of L = S|b>> E(b)<b| • One can find the new metric: • x L = K x Villa Lanna, Prague

  11. III. Pseudo-Hermiticity of K and L • K = S|a> E(a)<<a| = h. c. of L = S|b>> E(b)<b| • One can find the new metric: • x L = K x • and explicirt formulae: • x = S | a > r < a | = Hermitian • L /x = (1/x) K , 1/x = S | a >> 1/r << a |. Villa Lanna, Prague

  12. IV.(a) Pseudo-Hermitian H(z) allowed. • WHAT IT MEANS: • doubling of eigenstates: • right-action H(z) |y(z)> = E(z) |y(z)> • and left-action eq. <[y(z)| H(z) = E(z) <[y(z)| Villa Lanna, Prague

  13. IV.(a) Pseudo-Hermitian H(z) allowed. • WHAT IT MEANS: • doubling: right-action H(z) |y(z)> = E(z) |y(z)> • and left-action eq. <[y(z)| H(z) = E(z) <[y(z)| • solutions a- (=upper) and [a- (=lower-) indexed • sets = bi-orthogonal, with <[a | a> = 1 Villa Lanna, Prague

  14. IV.(a) Pseudo-Hermitian H(z) allowed. • WHAT IT MEANS: • doubling: right-action H(z) |y(z)> = E(z) |y(z)> • and left-action eq. <[y(z)| H(z) = E(z) <[y(z)| • solutions a- (=upper) and [a- (=lower-) indexed • sets = bi-orthogonal, with <[a | a> = 1 • and bi-complete, with I = S | a><[a | • with h.c. symmetry in I = S | a]><a | etc. Villa Lanna, Prague

  15. IV. (b) Pseudo-Hermitian H(z) assumed • H(z) = S|y(z)> E(z) <[y(z)| • h. c. = S |y(z) ]> E(z) <y(z)| = h H (1/h) Villa Lanna, Prague

  16. IV. (b) Pseudo-Hermitian H(z) assumed • H(z) = S|y(z)> E(z) <[y(z)| • h. c. = S |y(z) ]> E(z) <y(z)| = h H (1/h) • postulating h = S |y(z) ]> q <[y(z)| • and getting (1/h) = S |y(z)> (1/q) <y(z)| . Villa Lanna, Prague

  17. IV. (b) Pseudo-Hermitian H(z) assumed • H = S|y(z)> E(z) <[y(z)| • h. c. = S |y(z) ]> E(z) <y(z)| = h H (1/h) • postulating h = S |y(z) ]> q <[y(z)| • and getting (1/h) = S |y(z)> (1/q) <y(z)| . • WHY IS IT SO EXCITING? • E-dependence = N-dependence (QES = example) • new representants = linear, E-independent Villa Lanna, Prague
