Non-Hermitian $\mathcal{P}\mathcal{T}$-symmetric relativistic Quantum mechanics with a maximal mass in an external magnetic field

Abstract

Starting with the modified Dirac equations for free massive particles with the ${\gamma }_5$-extension of the physical mass $m\to m_1+{\gamma }_5{m}_2$, we consider equations of relativistic quantum mechanics in the presence of an external electromagnetic field. The new approach is developing on the basis of existing methods for study the unbroken $\mathcal{P}\mathcal{T}$ symmetry of Non-Hermitian Hamiltonians. The paper shows that this modified model contains the definition of the mass parameter, which may use as the determination of the magnitude scaling of energy $M$. Obviously that the transition to the standard approach is valid when small in comparison with $M$ energies and momenta. Formally, this limit is performed when $M\to \infty$, which simultaneously should correspond to the transition to a \emph{Hermitian limit}$m_2\to 0$. Inequality $m\le M$ may be considered and as the restriction of the mass spectrum of fermions considered in the model. Within of this approach, the effects of possible \emph{observability} mass parameters: $m_1,m_2$, $M$ are investigated taking into account the interaction of the magnetic field with charged fermions together with the accounting of their anomalous magnetic moments.
