Spontaneous PT symmetry breaking and pseudo-supersymmetry
Description
The phenomena of spontaneous PT symmetry breaking, associated with non-Hermitian Hamiltonians, are investigated. It is shown that spontaneous breakdown of PT symmetry is accompanied by the explicit breakdown of pseudo-supersymmetry. We also discuss in detail the resulting structure. (letter to the editor)
