Nikola i Nikolaevich Bogoliubov (19 0 9 – 199 2 )

is a dist inguished scient ist in the field of physics and

mathemat ics. His scient if ic act ivity began in Kyev

(1923 - 1947) and then cont inued in Moscow (since

1949) and Dubna (since 1956).

Main scient ific results in the fields:

� Nonlinear m echanics: asym pthot ic

m ethods, stability theory;

� Stat ict ical physics: kinet ic equat ions,

quasiaverages for system s with

spontaneously broken sym m etries;

� Quantum stat ist ics: m icroscopic theory

of Bose-gas superfluidity, m icroscopic

theory of superconduct iv ity;

� Quantum field theory: axiomat ic

scat tering matrix, general renormalizat ion

theory, proof of dispersion relat ions;

� Elementary pat icles theory: "quark bag"

model, quantum number "colour" ;

N.N. Bogoliubov's act ivity began at the age of

14-15. His major independent results were obtained

when he was 20-25. His scient ific act ivity is specified

by considerable mathem atical culture and directness

to solut ion of concrete problems of natural science.

Dm it r ii Ivanovich Blokhintsev (1908 –

1979) one of the pioneers of atom ic

science and technology in USSR, the

organizer and the first director of the JINR.

Main scient ific results in the fields:

- Quantum m echanics

- Acoust ics of an inhom ogeneous

m edium

- Neut ron physics

- Quantum field theory and Paritcle

physics

1954 – the scient if ic supervisor of creat ion and put t ing into

operat ion of the world first atom ic power stat ion.

1956 – 1965 – JINR Director

During the 80-90s of the XX

century,

Vict or Isaakovich Ogievet sky

with colleagues achieved essent ial

progress in understanding of the

m athem at ical st ructure of

supersym m etric theories.

They suggested and worked out

the harm onic superspace m ethod

which is now widely recognized as

an adequate approach to the

theories with extended

supersym m etry.

At the end of the f ift ies, at the

suggest ion of Nikolai Nikolaevich

Bogoliubov

Vadim Georgievich Soloviev

studied the propert ies of deform ed

nuclei in the fram ework of the m odel

of independent quasipart icles. These

invest igat ions culm inated at the end

of the sevent ies in the creat ion of

the quasipart icle-phonon nuclear

m odel.

Invest igat ions by the Soloviev 's

group st im ulated experim ental

studies in nuclear spectroscopy at

JINR in Dubna and in JINR Mem ber

States and are now widely used in

data analysis.

THEORETICAL PHYSICS

Scient ific personnel of the Bogoliubov Laboratory of

Theoret ical Physics has accum ulated extensive experience

of research in several fundam ental areas of theoret ical

physics: quantum field theory and elem entary part icle

physics, theory of atom ic nuclei, condensed m at ter physics

and m ethods of m athem at ical physics.

Dist inct ive features of research at BLTP are the

interdisciplinary character of invest igat ions, their direct

integrat ion into internat ional projects in cooperat ion with

scient ists from the world leading research centres, close

coordinat ion of theoret ical invest igat ions with

experim ental program s of JINR.

Tradit ionally, the Laboratory has also played the role of the

t raining cent re for young scient ists and students from m any

count ries. This act ivit y has becom e even m ore pronounced

during the last decade due to launching the scient if ic

and educat ional project «Dubna Internat ional Advanced

School of Theoret ical Physics» (DIAS-TH), as well as

opening the new departm ents of theoret ical physics at

Moscow Physical Technical University and Dubna

Internat ional University closely associated with the

Laboratory and JINR University Cent re.

The Laboratory has becom e a popular site for organizat ion

of internat ional conferences, workshops, schools for young

scient ists in various f ields of theoret ical physics.
