However, if $V(x)$ is complex and PT-symmetric, it is conjectured that, except in rare special cases, $V(x)$ must be analytic in order to have a real spectrum. This conjecture is demonstrated by using the potential $V(x)=(ix)^a|x|^b$, where $a,b$ are real.8 Pages, 2 figuresMathematical PhysicsHigh Energy Physics - Theorytext
