Abstract
We present the exact solutions of the Schrödinger equation with the double ring-shaped oscillator (DRSO) potential. By introducing a new variable x=cosθ and constructing super-universal associated Legendre polynomials we express the polar angular wave functions explicitly. We observe that the present DRSO has caused the symmetry breaking from the original spherical oscillator SU(3)∪SO(3) ∪O(2) symmetries to the present O(2) symmetry due to the surrounded two ring-shaped inversed square potentials. Some special cases are also discussed.
