Scientific Programme:
Multiparticle models of solids taking into consideration strong electron correlations, electron-lattice, and spin interactions to describe spectra of quasiparticle excitations, phase transitions and kinetic phenomena in solids. In equilibrium and nonequilibrium media with strong correlations such as liquids and nuclear matter, the processes of multifragmentation, clusterization in phase transitions and the influence of surface effects on properties of clusters. In the theory of superconductivity, nonstandard mechanisms of pairing in metal-oxides, the problem of bipolaron stability in a polaron gas environment, the influence of strong electric fields and temperature gradients on elastic, magnetic, and thermal properties of granular superconductors. For a study of mechanisms of phase transitions caused by charge, orbital, and magnetic ordering in magnetic semiconductors and in metals with a large magnetoresistance, experimental data obtained at the Frank Laboratory of Neutron Physics, JINR, by neutron scattering and the µSR method will be used.

Nonlinear problems in multiparticle theory will be studied by using modern methods of the renormalization group theory, the inverse scattering problem, fractal geometry, and the conformal field theory. The main subjects of the study are integrable systems, equilibrium systems of the statistical mechanics, and dissipative systems far from the thermodynamic equilibrium. The aim of these investigations is to reveal common properties of the multiparticle systems associated with the ideas of self-similarity and universality.

The microstructure of amorphous state will be studied in the framework of the theoretical model where topological disorder is introduced via arrays of disclination dipoles and loops. The thermal properties of disclinated media are of primary interest. The electronic spectrum of carbon materials, fullerenes and nanotubes, will be examined within the field-theory model adapted to account for nontrivial geometry of these nanostructures. The model of random Josephson junction arrays will be studied and applied to describe high-temperature granular superconductors.

In the theory of finite quantum systems, local and low-dimensional states of matter obtained in modern experiments will be investigated. In particular, properties of quasiparticles in mesoscopic systems and the Bose-Einstein condensation in atomic traps will be studied.

Expected main results in 2010:

Calculation of low-temperature electronic transport properties of metallic lithium-vanadium spinel.

Elaboration of electron-phonon and spin-fluctuation pairing mechanisms in novel iron-based layered superconducting compounds within the strong-coupling theory.
Energy spectrum calculation for the emitted electrons in the graphene nanosheets with different sheet packages and impurities.
Derivation of determinantal expressions for the time-like correlation functions of the totally asymmetric exclusion process and investigation of their asymptotics.
Detailed investigation of new Seiberg dualities in four dimensional N=1 superconformal field theories. Classification of known Seiberg dual theories and description of their effective low-energy interactions.
