A generalized mathematical model on quantum equivalents of non-commutative operators via commutating eigenvalue relation: PT-symmetry
Biswanath Rath
*Department of Physics, Maharaja Sriram Chandra Bhanj Deo University, Takatpur, Baripada -757003, Odisha, India. *
Any matrix ”” satisfying the non-commuting relation with ””, can be used via to reproduce eigenvalues of ””. This universality relation is also equally valid for any matrix in any branch of physical or social science and also any operator involving co-ordinate or momentum. Pictorially this is represented in the following fig.
Many interesting models including logarithmic potential have been considered.

**I. Introduction **
It is commonly known as any two matrices having the same dimension and non-singular in nature are basically non-commutative in nature[1],
[TABLE]
Now we consider an explicit form of A or B as
**Non-commutativity of matrices[1] **
For example we consider two matrices as
[TABLE]
having eigenvalues and
[TABLE]
Here we do not pay importance to eigenvalues of ( whether reeal or complex) . However, must be non-singular in nature. Then it is easy to show that .
[TABLE]
For a pictorial representation we consider
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
Pictorially this is represented as in Fig-1.
As stated above, we have the freedom to change as , where . Below we consider a few different cases as
**Hermiticity **
Here we consider as a Hermitian operator as

.Here stands for the parity operator having the nature :; . Similarly T stands for the time reversal operator having the behaviour: ; and [2].. The model operators, which have been studied for long time by different authors[2-5]
[TABLE]
Here also , the eigenvalues are the same as A
**Arbitrary non-singular matrix **
Here the the matrix considered is very arbitrary in nature.For example
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
In all the cases, we find that eigenvalues remain the same as A.
**2. Universality of eigenvalue invariance (via commutative relation) **
Let us confine to eigenvalues of , using the relation
[TABLE]
Here the relation to be read as eigenvalues of LHS = eigenvalues of RHS. Mathematically for eigenvalue determination, it is basically a commutative relation (even though,non-commutative in general).
Below we confine our analysis on complex PT-symmetry operators in matrix as well as operator forms as given below..
**3. Spectral invariance in PT-symmetry operator **
Let us confine our attention to as a PT-symmetry operator in matrix model.

**Third model **

**Fourth model **

In all the cases, eigenvalues of remain the same as . Pictorially, we have

[TABLE]
whose spectra is complex see fig-3.
Similarly , we also consider another broken PT-symmetry operator as[5]

**6.Conclusion **
Here, we have focussed attention on PT-symmetry model both matrix and operator involving and presented a unique spectral of Hamiltonian under the transformation. In fact, ” intertwining” operators . It should be borne in mind that the operators be non-singular. The eigenvalues of are not an important criteria on selection of . It can have broken spectra also. To justify this, we have considered two potentials and . Lastly one can have many more operators like this, in which no specific conditions to be imposed on .
