Аннотация
We revisit here the analytical continuation approach usually employed to compute quasinormal modes (QNM) and frequencies of a given potential barrier V starting from the bounded states and respective eigenvalues of the Schrodinger operator associated with the potential well corresponding to the inverted potential -V. We consider an exactly soluble problem corresponding to a potential barrier of the Poschl-Teller type with a well defined and behaved QNM spectrum, but for which the associated Schrodinger operator H obtained by analytical continuation fails to be self-adjoint. Although H admits self-adjoint extensions, we show that the eigenstates corresponding to the analytically continued QNM do not belong to any self-adjoint extension domain and, consequently, they cannot be interpreted as authentic quantum mechanical bounded states. Our result challenges the practical use of the this type of method when H fails to be self-adjoint since, in such cases, we would not have in advance any reasonable criterion to choose the initial eigenstates of H which would correspond to the analytically continued QNM.
