Graduate How to systematically find the symmetry operator given a Hamiltonian?

Click For Summary
To systematically find the symmetry operator given a Hamiltonian, specific details about the Hamiltonian are essential. The discussion emphasizes that without knowledge of the Hamiltonian's terms and their interactions, deriving equations 2.2 and 2.5 is not feasible. The lack of context makes it challenging to provide a concrete answer. Understanding the structure of the Hamiltonian is crucial for the derivation process. Ultimately, detailed information about the Hamiltonian is necessary for accurate derivation of the equations.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to answer this question without more specific information on the Hamiltonian being referred to. In order to derive equations 2.2 and 2.5, you need to know what terms are present in the Hamiltonian and how they interact with each other. Without this information, it is impossible to derive the equations.
 
Time reversal invariant Hamiltonians must satisfy ##[H,\Theta]=0## where ##\Theta## is time reversal operator. However, in some texts (for example see Many-body Quantum Theory in Condensed Matter Physics an introduction, HENRIK BRUUS and KARSTEN FLENSBERG, Corrected version: 14 January 2016, section 7.1.4) the time reversal invariant condition is introduced as ##H=H^*##. How these two conditions are identical?
