Abstract: A general classification of linear differential and finite-difference operators possessing a finite-dimensional invariant subspace with a polynomial basis (the generalized Bochner problem) is given. The main result is that any operator with the above property must have a representation as a polynomial element of the universal enveloping algebra of some algebra of differential (difference) operators in finite-dimensional representation plus an operator annihilating the finite-dimensional invariant subspace. In low dimensions a classification is given by algebras (for differential operators in ) and (for finite-difference operators in ), osp(2,2) (operators in one real and one Grassmann variable, or equivalently, 2imes2 matrix operators in ), , and a natural number (operators in ). A classification of linear operators possessing infinitely many finite-dimensional invariant subspaces with a basis in polynomials is presented. A connection to the recently-discovered quasi-exactly-solvable spectral problems is discussed.
