We find evidence for unusually strong Coulomb correlation effects both in the Fe 3$d$ and O 2$p$ states, with an enhanced manifestation in the majority spin channel. Additionally, O 2$p$ states exhibit a spin-splitting of nonmagnetic origin, which nevertheless is likely to have subtle influence on the stability of novel ferromagnetism of this compound.17 pages, 6 figures.
