Searches for the Higgs boson decays H \to eeand H \to e \muare performed using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 139 fb^{-1}collected with the ATLAS detector in ppcollisions at \sqrt{s} = 13TeV at the LHC. No significant signals are observed, in agreement with the Standard Model expectation. For a Higgs boson mass of 125 GeV, the observed (expected) upper limit at the 95% confidence level on the branching fraction...
