Two electrons in an external oscillator potential: hidden algebraic structure

It is shown that the Coulomb correlation problem for a system of two electrons (two charged particles) in an external oscillator potential possesses a hidden $sl_2$-algebraic structure being one of recently-discovered quasi-exactly-solvable problems. The origin of existing exact solutions to this problem, recently discovered by several authors, is explained. A degeneracy of energies in electron-electron and electron-positron correlation problems is found. It manifests the first appearence of hidden $sl_2$-algebraic structure in atomic physics.

Operator Identities, Representations of Algebras and the Problem of Normal Ordering

Families of operator identities appeared as a consequence of an existence of finite-dimensional representation of (super) Lie algebras of first-order differential operators and $q$-deformed (quantum) algebras of first-order finite-difference operators are presented. It is shown that those identities can be rewritten in terms of creation/annihilation operators and it leads to a simplification of the problem of the normal ordering in the second quantization method.

Hidden algebra of the $N$-body Calogero problem

A certain generalization of the algebra $gl(N,{\bf R})$ of first-order differential operators acting on a space of inhomogeneous polynomials in ${\bf R}^{N-1}$ is constructed. The generators of this (non)Lie algebra depend on permutation operators. It is shown that the Hamiltonian of the $N$-body Calogero model can be represented as a second-order polynomial in the generators of this algebra. Given representation implies that the Calogero Hamiltonian possesses infinitely-many, finite-dimensional invariant subspaces with explicit bases, which are closely related to the finite-dimensional representations of above algebra. This representation is an alternative to the standard representation of the Bargmann-Fock type in terms of creation and annihilation operators.

On some operator identities and representations of algebras

Certain infinite families of operator identities related to powers of positive root generators of (super) Lie algebras of first-order differential operators and $q$-deformed algebras of first-order finite-difference operators are presented.

Lie-algebraic approach to the theory of polynomial solutions. I. Ordinary differential equations and finite-difference equations in one variable

A classification of ordinary differential equations and finite-difference equations in one variable having polynomial solutions (the generalized Bochner problem) is given. The method used is based on the spectral problem for a polynomial element of the universal enveloping algebra of $sl_2({\bf R})$ (for differential equations) or $sl_2({\bf R})_q$ (for finite-difference equations) in the "projectivized" representation possessing an invariant subspace. Connection to the recently-discovered quasi-exactly-solvable problems is discussed.

Lie-algebraic approach to the theory of polynomial solutions. II. Differential equations in one real and one Grassmann variables and 2x2 matrix differential equations

A classification theorem for linear differential equations in two variables (one real and one Grassmann) having polynomial solutions(the generalized Bochner problem) is given. The main result is based on the consideration of the eigenvalue problem for a polynomial element of the universal enveloping algebra of the algebra $osp(2,2)$ in the "projectivized" representation (in differential operators of the first order) possessing an invariant subspace. A classification of 2 x 2 matrix differential equations in one real variable possessing polynomial solutions is described. Connection to the recently-discovered quasi-exactly-solvable problems is discussed.

Lie-algebraic approach to the theory of polynomial solutions. III. Differential equations in two real variables and general outlook

Classification theorems for linear differential equations in two real variables, possessing eigenfunctions in the form of the polynomials (the generalized Bochner problem) are given. The main result is based on the consideration of the eigenvalue problem for a polynomial elements of the universal enveloping algebras of the algebras $sl_3({\bf R})$, $sl_2({\bf R})\oplus sl_2({\bf R})$ and $gl_2 ({\bf R})\ \triangleright\!\!\!< {\bf R}^{r+1}\ , r>0$ taken in the "projectivized" representations (in differential operators of the first order in two real variables) possessing an invariant subspace. General insight to the problem of a description of linear differential operators possessing an invariant sub-space with a basis in polynomials is presented. Connection to the recently-discovered quasi-exactly-solvable problems is discussed.
