Abstract
It is shown that the α2-dynamo of magnetohydrodynamics, the hydrodynamic Squire equation as well as an interpolation model of PT-symmetric quantum mechanics are closely related as spectral problems in Krein spaces. For the α2-dynamo and the PT-symmetric model the strong similarities are demonstrated with the help of a 2×2 operator matrix representation, whereas the Squire equation is reinterpreted as a rescaled and Wick-rotated PT-symmetric problem. Based on recent results on the Squire equation the spectrum of the PT-symmetric interpolation model is analyzed in detail and the Herbst limit is described as spectral singularity.
