Nikola i Nikolaevich Bogoliubov (19 0 9 – 199 2 )
is a dist inguished scient ist in the field of physics and
mathemat ics. His scient if ic act ivity began in Kyev
(1923 - 1947) and then cont inued in Moscow (since
1949) and Dubna (since 1956).
Main scient ific results in the fields:
� Nonlinear m echanics: asym pthot ic
m ethods, stability theory;
� Stat ict ical physics: kinet ic equat ions,
quasiaverages for system s with
spontaneously broken sym m etries;
� Quantum stat ist ics: m icroscopic theory
of Bose-gas superfluidity, m icroscopic
theory of superconduct iv ity;
� Quantum field theory: axiomat ic
scat tering matrix, general renormalizat ion
theory, proof of dispersion relat ions;
� Elementary pat icles theory: "quark bag"
model, quantum number "colour" ;
N.N. Bogoliubov's act ivity began at the age of
14-15. His major independent results were obtained
when he was 20-25. His scient ific act ivity is specified
by considerable mathem atical culture and directness
to solut ion of concrete problems of natural science.
Dm it r ii Ivanovich Blokhintsev (1908 –
1979) one of the pioneers of atom ic
science and technology in USSR, the
organizer and the first director of the JINR.
Main scient ific results in the fields:
- Quantum m echanics
- Acoust ics of an inhom ogeneous
m edium
- Neut ron physics
- Quantum field theory and Paritcle
physics
1954 – the scient if ic supervisor of creat ion and put t ing into
operat ion of the world first atom ic power stat ion.
1956 – 1965 – JINR Director
During the 80-90s of the XX
century,
Vict or Isaakovich Ogievet sky
with colleagues achieved essent ial
progress in understanding of the
m athem at ical st ructure of
supersym m etric theories.
They suggested and worked out
the harm onic superspace m ethod
which is now widely recognized as
an adequate approach to the
theories with extended
supersym m etry.
At the end of the f ift ies, at the
suggest ion of Nikolai Nikolaevich
Bogoliubov
Vadim Georgievich Soloviev
studied the propert ies of deform ed
nuclei in the fram ework of the m odel
of independent quasipart icles. These
invest igat ions culm inated at the end
of the sevent ies in the creat ion of
the quasipart icle-phonon nuclear
m odel.
Invest igat ions by the Soloviev 's
group st im ulated experim ental
studies in nuclear spectroscopy at
JINR in Dubna and in JINR Mem ber
States and are now widely used in
data analysis.

THEORETICAL PHYSICS
Scient ific personnel of the Bogoliubov Laboratory of
Theoret ical Physics has accum ulated extensive experience
of research in several fundam ental areas of theoret ical
physics: quantum field theory and elem entary part icle
physics, theory of atom ic nuclei, condensed m at ter physics
and m ethods of m athem at ical physics.
Dist inct ive features of research at BLTP are the
interdisciplinary character of invest igat ions, their direct
integrat ion into internat ional projects in cooperat ion with
scient ists from the world leading research centres, close
coordinat ion of theoret ical invest igat ions with
experim ental program s of JINR.
Tradit ionally, the Laboratory has also played the role of the
t raining cent re for young scient ists and students from m any
count ries. This act ivit y has becom e even m ore pronounced
during the last decade due to launching the scient if ic
and educat ional project «Dubna Internat ional Advanced
School of Theoret ical Physics» (DIAS-TH), as well as
opening the new departm ents of theoret ical physics at
Moscow Physical Technical University and Dubna
Internat ional University closely associated with the
Laboratory and JINR University Cent re.
The Laboratory has becom e a popular site for organizat ion
of internat ional conferences, workshops, schools for young
scient ists in various f ields of theoret ical physics.
