Sergei D. Odintsov (born 1959, Shchuchinsk, Kazakhstan) is a Spanish-based Russian astrophysicist active in the fields of cosmology, quantum field theory and quantum gravity. Odintsov is an ICREA Research Professor at the Institut de Ciències de l'Espai (Barcelona) since 2003. He also collaborates as group leader at research projects of the Tomsk State Pedagogical University. He is a member of the editorial boards of Universe,[1] International Journal of Geometric Methods in Modern Physics,[2] Journal of Gravity,[3] Gravitation and Cosmology,[4] and the Tomsk State Pedagogical University Bulletin.[5] Odintsov also is an advisory panel member of Classical and Quantum Gravity.[6]
In 2011, Odintsov was included in the list of the top 10 most well-known scientists of Russian origin according to Forbes.[7] In 2014, he was included in the list of The World's Most Influential Scientific Minds: 2014 according to Thomson Reuters.[8]
Bibliography
Odintsov has published 500 research articles with about 22.000–25.000 citations with an h-index of 73–76.[9][10]
His main scientific results are in the fields of quantum field theory and quantum gravity and include the complete development of renormalization group in curved space, the discovery of asymptotic conformal invariance, and a full description of curvature-induced phase transitions.[11] In cosmology, together with Shin'ichi Nojiri, Odintsov has proposed brane-world inflation (independently from the same proposal by Stephen Hawking).[12][13] In the study of dark energy cosmology, with Emilio Elizalde and Shin'ichi Nojiri, Odintsov proposed a dark energy model consisting of complex scalar or two scalars (such model was later called quintom) with possibility to realize phantom or quintessence type of acceleration[14] as well as remove finite singularity there by quantum effects. Together with Shin'ichi Nojiri, Odintsov also proposed a generalized holographic dark energy model[15] which includes eventually all possible variations over original holographic dark energy.
In 2002, Salvatore Capozziello proposed the fundamental new point of view to dark energy: dark energy is caused by a modification of gravitational theory.[16] Based on this idea and developing it Odintsov and Shin'ichi Nojiri proposed the first fundamental unified picture for the evolution of the universe based on modified gravity.[17] According to this the evolution of the universe changes the gravitational theory, so that modified gravity changes the evolution of the universe making it to be accelerating at the very early and very late epoch. Later, they also demonstrated that such unified inflationary-dark energy universe may be achieved in modified Gauss-Bonnet gravity[18] and non-local gravity.[19] This picture became even more popular recently due to the increasing possibility that inflation is caused by modified gravity which differs from the usual General Relativity.
