I can't understand the spectrum in the figure on page 19 from Argyres' lecture notes on supersymmetry: http://www.physics.uc.edu/~argyres/661/susy1996.pdf
Argyres is considering a supersymmetric quantum mechanical system of an anharmonic oscillator, with a superpotential W∼x3. The plots of W and V make perfect sense. What doesn't make sense is the spectrum on the right.
Why are there both x's and o's over each Hamiltonian H1 and H2?? I thought H1 is exclusively the spin-up Hamiltonian and H2 is exclusively the spin-down Hamiltonian, so therefore the spectrum consist of a column of just x's over H1 and a column just of o's over H2.
Additional request: Would someone please write down the form of H1 and H2 in their answer, so to make sure we're on the same page? A graph of the the respective potentials V1 and V2 would be even better.
Take a look at the much more sensible figure on page 7. This is something that I can comprehend.
