Michael Marinov

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Michael S. Marinov (born July 4, 1939 in Moscow , † January 17, 2000 in Haifa ) was a Soviet-Israeli physicist.

Marinov studied at Lomonosov University with a degree in physics in 1962 and received his doctorate in 1968 at the Institute for Theoretical and Experimental Physics (ITEP) under Isaak Pomeranschuk ( phenomenology of the interaction of particles with spin ). He was one of those testing the theoretical minimum at Lew Landau completed in person. He was a senior member of ITEP from 1969 to 1979 and then had to give up this position for political reasons. For eight years he worked in construction and as a translator of scientific literature and gave university courses for other politically persecuted students. In 1987 he was able to emigrate with his family to Israel, where he was initially at the Racah Institute of the Hebrew University in Jerusalem and from 1988 until his death professor at the Technion in Haifa .

He dealt in particular with quantum field theory and applications of the path integral . With Berezin he pursued a description of particles with spin in the Hamilton formalism of classical mechanics with Grassmann variables and with Terentyev he applied path integrals to group manifolds. Most recently he dealt in particular with path integrals in complex geometries and with the quantum mechanical tunneling process.

He was married and had two daughters.
