14. As will be clear after Eq. (31), if we map an explicitly known unitary time evolution associated with a PT -symmetric system to that of a Hermitian system by an explicitly known time-dependent metric, in general, the Hermitian operator that governs the mapped time evolution should not be the mapped Hamiltonian. In addition, if we require the Hermitian operator that governs the mapped time evolution to be the mapped Hamiltonian, one needs K ≠ 0.
