what are the energies of the inverted Harmonic oscillator?
H=p2−ω2x2
since the eigenfunctions of this operator do not belong to any L2(R) space I believe that the spectrum will be continuous, anyway in spite of the inverted oscillator having a continuum spectrum are there discrete 'gaps' inside it?
Also if I use the notation of 'complex frequency' the energies of this operator should be
En=ℏ(n+1/2)iω
by analytic continuation of the frequency to imaginary values.
