Igor Jechijeljewitsch Dsjaloschinski , Russian Игорь Ехиельевич Дзялошинский , English transcription: Igor Ekhielevich Dzyaloshinskii or Dzyaloshinsky (born  February 1, 1931 in Moscow ; † July 14, 2021 ) was a Russian physicist .

biography

Djalozhinsky graduated from Lomonosov University in 1953 and then went to the Institute of Physics of the Russian Academy of Sciences, where he received his doctorate in 1957 under Lev Landau (with a thesis on weak ferromagnetism). He was one of the founding members of the Landau Institute for Theoretical Physics in Moscow. From 1992 he was a professor at the University of California, Irvine , most recently as professor emeritus.

With Alexei Alexejewitsch Abrikossow and Lew Petrovich Gorkow he published important papers on the application of methods of quantum field theory in statistical physics (for example theory of superconductivity) and many-particle theory, about which the three also wrote a well-known textbook, which was published in 1961 in Russian and was published in English translation in 1963. He also dealt with magnetic phase transitions, crystallization and effectively one-dimensional systems of statistical mechanics. Dzyaloshinskii suspected the existence of phase transitions without fixed points of the renormalization group. He was involved in the formulation of the Matsubara formalism ( Takeo Matsubara , 1955) in many-body theory and applied diagrammatic methods to transport problems at finite temperatures.

In 1972 he received the Lomonosov Prize. In 1974 he became a corresponding member of the Soviet Academy of Sciences . In 1982 he was awarded the Red Banner Order of Labor and in 1984 the Soviet State Prize . From 1996 he was a Fellow of the American Physical Society . In 1989 he received the Landau Prize with Gorkow and Abrikossow. From 1991 he was a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and from 2002 of the American Association for the Advancement of Science .
