Arkady Tseytlin
professor at Imperial College London
Arkady Aleksandrovich Tseytlin is a prominent Soviet, Russian, and British theoretical physicist who currently serves as a professor at Imperial College London.2 Born on August 31, 1956, in Moscow, Tseytlin is renowned as one of the world's leading experts in superstring theory and the AdS/CFT correspondence.2
Academic Background
Tseytlin's academic journey began at Moscow State University, where he graduated in 1979.2 He then pursued his doctoral studies at the Lebedev Physical Institute, earning his doctorate in physics in 1984 under the guidance of E. S. Fradkin.2
Career Progression
After completing his doctorate, Tseytlin joined the academic staff of the Lebedev Physical Institute in 1984.2 In 1992, he transitioned to Imperial College London, where he has been serving as a professor ever since.2
Research Contributions
Tseytlin's research interests primarily focus on:
- String theory
- Quantum field theory
- Quantum gravity1
He has made significant contributions to the development of modern string theory, including:
- Developing the sigma-model approach to string dynamics in curved space-time with E. S. Fradkin.2
- Establishing the central role of the Born-Infeld action in open string theory.2
- Constructing a superstring action in anti-de Sitter space, which is crucial for understanding the duality between gauge fields and strings.2
Recognition and Awards
Tseytlin's exceptional work has earned him several prestigious accolades:
- In 2011, he received the John William Strutt, Lord Rayleigh Medal and Prize from the UK-based Institute of Physics.2
- In 2023, he was awarded the Pomeranchuk Prize by the Institute for Theoretical and Experimental Physics (ITEP) in Moscow.2
Arkady Tseytlin's contributions to theoretical physics have significantly advanced our understanding of string theory and related fields, cementing his position as a leading figure in the scientific community.
