Gauge invariance and the Englert-Brout-Higgs mechanism in non-Hermitian field theories

We discuss PT-symmetric Abelian gauge field theories as well as their extension to the Englert-Brout-Higgs mechanism for generating a mass for a vector boson. Gauge invariance is not straightforward, and we discuss the different related problems as well as a solution which consists in coupling the g...
