Research Interests
My research interest is what is called Mathematical Physics. Basically it is an interest to the Mechanics - Classical, Statistical and especially Quantum. The subject of the research is many-body mechanical systems which can be solved explicitly - so called Exactly Integrable Systems. Importance of exact solution is that qualitative (e.g. critical) phenomena can not be obtained by a perturbation approximation. Quantum integrable systems with infinitely large number of degrees of freedom (i.e. integrable quantum field theories) have essential importanse for Physics. A huge class of such systems consist on «quantum chains» and «spin shains» - the theory critical properties of polymers and magnetics. My main expertise and dominant research interest embraces the newest area of multidimensional quantum integrable systems - quantum lattices and spin lattices - yet this area is not developed well. Expertise and research interests include a variety of subjects underlying the theory of exact integrability: (mathematics) Yang-Baxter equation, Tetrahedron equation, general simplex equations, quantum groups, representation theory, algebraic geometry, differential equations, (physics) quantum field theory, integrable field theory, condensed matter physics and so on.
