Abstract: We consider an eigenvalue problem for an inverted one dimensional harmonic oscillator. We find a complete description for the eigenproblem in $C^{infty}(mathbbR)$. The eigenfunctions are described in terms of the confluent hypergeometric functions, the spectrum is $mathbbC$. The spectrum of the differential operator $-fracdd{x}^2-{omega}^2{x}^2$ is continuous and has physical significance only for the states which are in $L^2(mathbbR)$ and correspond to real eigenvalues. To identify them we use two approaches. First we define a unitary operator between $L^2(mathbbR)$ and $L^2$ for two copies of $mathbbR$. This operator has the property that the spectrum of the image of the inverted harmonic oscillator corresponds to the spectrum of the operator $-ifracddx$. This shows that the (generalized) spectrum of the inverted harmonic operator is real. The second approach uses rigged Hilbert spaces.
