title: Correlated electrons in lithiumlike hollow atoms.
abstract: We present a scheme for the explicit construction of highly correlated triply excited hollow states in Coulombic three-electron systems. Our analytical ansatz for the three-electron state is physically well justified and it produces configuration mixing coefficients in good agreement with data obtained from ab initio calculations.
