Abstract

We study the one-dimensional Dirac equation with local PT-symmetric potentials whose discrete eigenfunctions and continuum asymptotic eigenfunctions are eigenfunctions of the PT operator, too: on these conditions, the bound-state spectra are real and the potentials are reflectionless and conserve unitarity in the scattering process. The absence of reflection makes it meaningful to consider also PT-symmetric potentials that do not vanish asymptotically.
