Abstract

Comparison between the exact value of the spectral zeta function, ZH(1)=5-6/5[3-2(π/5)]Γ2(1/5)/Γ(3/5), and the results of numeric and WKB calculations supports the conjecture by Bessis that all the eigenvalues of this PT-invariant hamiltonian are real. For one-dimensional Schrödinger operators with complex potentials having a monotonic imaginary part, the eigenfunctions (and the imaginary parts of their logarithmic derivatives) have no real zeros.
