The concept of <em>PT</em> symmetry was also introduced into quantum mechanics during this time. This paper defines the notion of a weak value measurement pointer Hamiltonian and establishes equivalences between its Dirac symmetries, its <em>PT</em> symmetries, its eigenvalues, and the associated weak value. The affect of these symmetries upon measurement pointer observables is also identified.</p>2024-06-04T00:00:00-07:00Copyright (c) 2024
