Ghosts in higher derivative Maxwell-Chern-Simon's theory and PT-symmetry

Ghost fields in quantum field theory have been a long standing problem. Specifically, theories with higher derivatives involve ghosts that appear in the Hamiltonian in the form of linear momenta term, which is commonly known as the Ostrogradski ghost. Higher derivative theories may involve both type...
