ON CONSERVATION OF PROBABILITY IN THE LEE MODEL
Heisenberg's treatment of the Lee model in an indefinite metric with dipole or complex ghosts is extended to include more than one heavy particle and to include heavy particle motion. It is shown that with this extension new bound states of negative norm and real energy appear, which can, via a scattering process, lead to a failure of unitarity in the theory. (auth)
