Abstract

We prove the spectral instability of the complex cubic oscillator d2dx2+ix3+iαx-\frac{d^2}{dx^2}+ix^3+i\alpha x for non-negative values of the parameter α\alpha, by getting the exponential growth rate of Πn(α)\|\Pi_n(\alpha)\|, where Πn(α)\Pi_n(\alpha) is the spectral projection associated with the nn-th eigenvalue of the operator. More precisely, we show that for all non-negative α\alpha limn+1nlogΠn(α)=π3. \lim\limits_{n\to+\infty}\frac{1}{n}\log\|\Pi_n(\alpha)\| = \frac{\pi}{\sqrt{3}}.
