Abstract

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 sl2sl_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 sl2sl_2-algebraic structure in atomic physics.
