Spectra of $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric operators under rank-one perturbations

Spectra of $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric operators under rank-one perturbations

We study the spectra of -symmetric Hamiltonians H that are rank-one perturbations of a self-adjoint -symmetric Hamiltonian H0. We show that the discrete spectrum of H may include any number of complexā€“conjugate pairs of complex numbers of arbitrary algebraic multiplicity.
