Abstract
A general formalism is worked out for the description of one-dimensional scattering in non-her¨mitian quantum mechanics and constraints on transmission and reflection coefficients ore derived in the cases of P, T or PT invariance of the Hamiltonian. Applications to some solvable PT-symmetric potentials ore shown in detail. Our main original results concern the association of reflectionless potentials with asymptotic exact PT symmetry and the peculiarities of separable kernels of non-local potentials in connection with Hermiticity, T invariance and PT invariance.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
