The geometrical properties of parity and time reversal operators in two dimensional spaces
The parity operator P and time reversal operator T are two important operators in the quantum theory, in particular, in the PT -symmetric quantum theory. By using the concrete forms of P and T , we discuss their geometrical properties in two dimensional spaces. It is showed that if T is given, then...

Zusammenfassung: | The parity operator
P
and time reversal operator
T
are two important operators in the quantum theory, in particular, in the
PT
-symmetric quantum theory. By using the concrete forms of
P
and
T
, we discuss their geometrical properties in two dimensional spaces. It is showed that if
T
is given, then all
P
links with the quadric surfaces; if
P
is given, then all
T
links with the quadric curves. Moreover, we give out the generalized unbroken
PT
-symmetric condition of an operator. The unbroken
PT
-symmetry of a Hermitian operator is also showed in this way. |
