Abstract

In this work, we present a complete spectral study of a family of non-normal operators arising in Reggeon field theory. This family of operators is an original example who permit us to discover the recent theory of physical requirement of space-time reflection symmetry (PT symmetry) without losing any of the essential physical features of quantum mechanics [Bender]. Early studies of Reggeon field theory, in the late 1970s led a number of investigators to observe that model cubic quantum-mechanical Hamiltonians might have real eigenvalues [Bower et al]. The study of this family of operators, permit us to discover some fine results of Spectral Theory and Functional Analysis in particular the results connected with completeness of elementary solutions of mathematical physics problems. We use knowledge basics of holomorphic functions of one complex variable and the properties of Hilbert spaces. In this work the knowledge of spectral theory and the functional analysis of standard level is required (see [Kato], [Ghohberg2 et al] and [Markus]). It is also requested to know the basic properties of semigroup theory see for example ([Pazy]).
