Abstract

We report analytic solutions of a recently discovered quasi-exactly solvable model consisting of two electrons, interacting {\em via} a Coulomb potential, but restricted to remain on the surface of a D\mathcal{D}-dimensional sphere. Polynomial solutions are found for the ground state, and for some higher (L3L\le3) states. Kato cusp conditions and interdimensional degeneracies are discussed.
