Igor Tyutin

Igor Viktorovich Tjutin (Russian Игорь Викторович Тютин, scientific transliteration Igor ' Viktorovič Tjutin, English transliteration Tyutin, born August 24, 1940) is a Russian theoretical physicist who deals with quantum field theory.

Tjutin is professor at the Lebedev Institute in Moscow. Tjutin developed the BRST formalism, a method for quantization of systems with constraints as gauge theories in Russia parallel to Raymond Stora, Alain Rouet and Carlo Becchi in France around 1975., The method is in the quantum field theory of fundamental importance (including attempts to construct string field theories ).

In 2009 he received the Dannie Heineman Prize with Raymond Stora, Alain Rouet and Carlo Becchi.
