Anatoly Alekseyevich Logunov (Template:Lang-ru, December 30, 1926 – March 1, 2015) was a Soviet and Russian theoretical physicist, academician of the USSR Academy of Sciences and Russian Academy of Sciences.[1][2] He was awarded the Bogolyubov Prize in 1996.

Biography

Anatoly Logunov was born in Obsharovka village, now in Privolzhsky District, Samara Oblast, Russia. In 1951 he graduated from Moscow University where he studied theoretical physics. From 1954 to 1956 he worked in Moscow University,[3] later worked at Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (Dubna).[4] He became doktor nauk in 1959 and professor in 1961.[5] In 1968 he was elected a corresponding member of The Academy of Sciences of USSR.[6] In 1971 the department of quantum theory and high energy physics was founded on faculty of physics of Moscow University. Anatoly Logunov was the head of this department right from the start at least until 2006.[2] In 1972 Anatoly Logunov was elected an academician in the field of nuclear physics.[1] Anatoly Logunov died on 1 March 2015 in Moscow, Russia.[4] He was buried at Troyekurovskoye Cemetery in Moscow.

Research

Logunov made a notable contribution to theory of gravity.[7] He studied quantum field theory.[8] In 1956 he built generalized finite multiplicative renormalization groups and functional and differential renormalization group equations of electrodynamics in case of arbitrary calibration.[2][9] He studied Bell's spaceship paradox[10], the ideas of Henri Poincare.[11]

Relativistic theory of gravitation

Since the 1980s the name of Logunov is associated with the development relativistic theory of gravitation (RTG), a theory of gravitation alternative to that of the general theory of relativity.[2] RTG has been criticized by mainstream physicists[12][13][14] and has little acceptance beyond Logunov's scientific school. However Dutch physicist Theodorus Maria Nieuwenhuizen[15] and Czech physicist Vaclav Špička advised use of RTG instead of Eintein's theory of relativity.
