We present a natural extension of these results to the class of diagonalizable pseudo-Hermitian Hamiltonians H with a discrete spectrum. In particular, we introduce generalized parity (P), time-reversal (T), and charge-conjugation (C) operators and establish the PT- and CPT-invariance of H.pdfMathematical physicsPseudo-Hermiticity and generalized PT- and CPT-symmetriesJournal Article1089-7658https://doi.org/10.1063/1.1539304181090300004Q3NOIR00570
