The origin of the poles generated by chiral coupled-channel dynamics and applied to $\bar{K}N$ interactions is related to the nonzero diagonal couplings in the $πΣ$, $\bar{K}N$ and $KΞ$ channels. An evolution of the poles from the zero coupling limit and from a limit of restored SU(3) symmetry is discussed.
We have performed new fits of our chirally motivated coupled--channels model for meson-baryon interactions and discussed the impact of the SIDDHARTA measurement on the $\bar{K}N$ amplitudes in the free space and in nuclear medium. The kaon--nucleon amplitudes generated by the model are fully consistent with our earlier studies that used the older kaonic hydrogen data by the DEAR collaboration. The subthreshold energy dependence of the in-medium $\bar{K}N$ amplitudes plays a crucial role in $\bar{K}$--nuclear applications.
Relativistic massive bosons with spin one are considered in several quantization schemes. In all of them the system is shown described by a non-Hermitian Hamiltonian and helicity operator. Constructively we show that in all of the contemplated schemes both these operators prove simultaneously PT-symmetric, i.e., pseudo-Hermitian with respect to a certain not too complicated indefinite pseudo-metric operator.
