Vladimir Belinski

Vladimir Alexeyevich Belinski (Russian: Владимир Алексеевич Белинский, English transcription Vladimir Belinski, born March 26, 1941) is a Russian theoretical physicist who deals with gravitational physics and general relativity theory (ART).

Belinsky studied from 1958 at the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology and was from 1965 the Landau Institute for Theoretical Physics, where he received his doctorate in 1969. He stopped at the Landau Institute, his habilitation in 1981 ( Russian PhD ) and then worked as a senior scientist of the Landau Institute. 1989/1990 he was a visiting scientist at the Yukawa Institute in Kyoto. Since 1990 he was a scientist ( with teaching license ) at the Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare ( INFN, German " National Institute of Nuclear Physics " ) in Rome and the University of Rome (La Sapienza ). Today he is a professor at the International Center for Relativistic Astrophysics ( ICRA ) in Pescara.

He is known for a work on singularities in general relativity with Yevgeny Mikhailovich Lifshitz and Isaac Markovich Chalatnikow around 1970. BKL singularities have since been named after them and to this day unsolved conjecture that this in time strongly oscillating solutions typically in the ART are.

He also discovered from 1977 with Vladimir Sakharov Jewgenjewitsch (Vladimir E. Zakharov ) gravitational instanton solutions, and applied it for the first time the method of the inverse scattering transform in the ART, which she extensions there to the Belinski - Zakharov transformation ( 1978). To the thus obtained exact solutions of the field equations of ART include black holes.

In 1974 he was awarded the Landau Prize with Chalatnikow and Lifschitz. In 2012, he was among other things a Chalatnikow the recipient of the Marcel Grossmann Awards.
