Robert Adol'fovich Minlos

Robert Adolfovich Minlos (Russian Роберт Адольфович Минлос, English transcription Robert Adolfovich Minlos; born February 28, 1931 in Moscow ) is a Russian mathematician who in particular is concerned with probability theory and mathematical statistical physics.

Minlos studied at the Moscow State University among others, Israel Gelfand, which in 1958 he wrote a book about the representation theory of the important physics in the rotation and Lorentz group. In 1968 he completed his habilitation (Russian doctoral degree ) at Andrei Kolmogorov ( Mathematical problems of current statistical physics ). He was a professor at Moscow State University and was with Roland Dobrushin and Yakov Sinai one of the leaders of the seminar on statistical physics in Moscow and is Dobruschins successor as head of the Laboratory for Information Transmission Problems, Russian Academy of Sciences ( Dobrushin Laboratory ). He is also a professor at the Independent University of Moscow.

Minlos has been dealing with mathematical aspects of physics, such as the mathematical basis of path integrals and representations of the Lorentz group, but especially statistical physics ( theory of phase transitions, random walks, Ising model, entropy in the thermodynamic limit, connections to quantum field theory, cluster developments and other ).
