## Abstract

General properties of eigenvectors and eigenvalues for an effective Hamiltonian governing time evolution in a two state subspace of the state space of the total system under consideration are discussed. The Lee, Oehme and Yang (LOY) theory of time evolution in such a subspace and CP-- and CPT--symmetry properties of the LOY effective Hamiltonian are considered. The CPT transformation properties of the exact effective Hamiltonian for two state subspace are discussed also. Using the Khalfin Theorem we show that contrary to the properties of the LOY theory, the diagonal matrix elements of the exact effective Hamiltonian governing the time evolution in the subspace of states of an unstable particle and its antiparticle need not be equal at for $t \> t\_{0}$ ($t\_{0}$ is the instant of creation of the pair) when the total system under consideration is CPT invariant but CP noninvariant. Using the more accurate approximation than the LOY one we show that the interpretation of the tests measuring the difference between the $K\_{0}$ mass and the ${\\bar K}\_{0}$ mass as the CPT--symmetry test is wrong.

## Recorded benchmark results

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.
