AUTOBIOGRAPHY

My name is Volkov Mikhail. I was born in Ivanovo (Central Russia) on January 27, 1937. In 1954 I entered Moscow State University, the Physical Department. From the third year I studied at the Electrodynamics and Quantum Theory chair headed by Academician L.D. Landau. From the fourth year till graduation I was receiving the I.V. Stalin grant.
My graduation thesis, prepared under the supervision of Prof. B.V. Medvedev at the Steklov Mathematical Institute, was devoted to the influence of different methods of introducing elementary length on the result of calculation.
I graduated from the University in 1960 and entered the post-graduate course of Academician N.N. Bogoliubov.
In 1961-1962 I worked in Dubna in the group of V.G. Soloviev and published two papers on the superfluid model of nucleus.
In May 1962 I became a member of the scientific staff of the Laboratory of Theoretical Physics, JINR, Dubna. In 1963 I returned to the work in the field of elementary particles and quantum field theory in the group of Prof. D.I. Blokhintsev. Together with G.V. Efimov I started to study different methods of regularization in nonpolynomial field theories. It was a natural continuation of the topic which I had studied in my graduation thesis. Over the period 1965-1974 I published a series of works devoted to the methods for regularization of quantum field theory with the nonpolynomial Lagrangian. On the basis of these works I received the Candidate of Science degree in 1967 and the Doctor of Science degree in 1974. I was also a winner of the Moscow region young scientists and specialists competition in science and technology in 1970 and of the JINR prize in 1977.
Prof. A. Salam attempted to use my method of regularization of quantum field theories with the nonpolynomial Lagrangian for constructing gravity-modified quantum electrodynamics without divergences (C.J.Isham, A.Salam and J.Strathdee, `Infinity Suppression Gravity Modified Quantum Electrodynamics,' Phys. Rev. D3, 1805 (1971).; Phys. Rev. D5, 2548 (1972).). He gave the name "superpropagator" to that method of regularization. He had an idea of treating the gravitational field as a universal regularizer for all other interactions.
Another interesting application of the superpropagator method was proposed by Prof. H. Lehmann in 1972-1973. He used the superpropagator method for regularization of pion loops with ultraviolet divergences in his description of the pion-pion scattering in chiral nonlinear theories (H.Lehmann, `Chiral Invariance And Effective Range Expansion For Pion Pion Scattering,' Phys. Lett. B41, 529 (1972).; H.Lehmann and H.Trute, `Second Order Effects In Chiral-Invariant Pion Lagrangians And The Use Of Superpropagators,' Nucl. Phys. B52, 280 (1973)).
This concept was developed by me and V.N. Pervushin in order to construct the chiral-symmetric perturbation theory with nonlinear chiral Lagrangians in the one-loop approximation. Many internal properties and interactions of mesons (decays, pi pi, pi K and K K scattering lengths, electromagnetic radii and polarizabilities) were described within the framework of this theory. The pion polarizability was measured by the JINR-IHEP group and the results turned out to be in agreement with our predictions. Large part of those works became a basis for the Doctorate thesis of V.N. Pervushin.
Later on chiral symmetric perturbation theory with the nonlinear chiral Lagrangian was developed in works of H. Leutwyler with collaborators and won the recognition.
The superpropagator method and its application to the chiral-symmetric perturbation theory with nonlinear chiral Lagrangians were described in detail in the monograph by M.K. Volkov and V.N. Pervushin "Essentially nonlinear quantum theories, dynamical symmetires, and meson physics," Atomizdat, Moscow, 1978, pp.240.
In the above-mentioned papers chiral symmetry of strong interaction was used without taking into account the quark structure of hadrons. To describe properties and interactions of mesons at a more fundamental level it is necessary to take into account the quark structure of hadrons. The NJL model proved to be very useful for this purpose. It was proposed by Nambu and Jona-Lasinio in 1961 for description of the nucleon mass by spontaneous symmetry breaking. On the quark level this model was formulated by Japanese scientists T. Eguchi and K. Kikkawa in 1976 for the case of exact chiral symmetry.
In 1981 I together with Prof. D. Ebert started to study the internal structure of this model and its different physical applications for the real physical situation when current quark masses not equal zero. The issues studied were dynamical chiral symmetry breaking on the quark level, inclusion of electromagnetic and weak interactions in the model, properties and interactions of mesons. Vector dominance was found to naturally arise in the NJL model.
Starting from 1985 investigations in this field were growing more and more extensive. In many countries, especially in Germany and Japan, hundreds of papers and reviews in this area were published. Results that I and my collaborators were first to obtain were reproduced and confirmed by other authors.
In 1987 I and Prof. D. Ebert were awarded the JINR Prize for the works on description of low-energy meson physics in the quark model of the superconductive type. S.U. Suiarov, D.V. Kreopalov, A.A. Osipov, Z.L. Guliamova and N.I. Troitskaya received their Candidate of Science degrees working under my supervision on this topic.
In the mid-1980s years A.N. Ivanov and I investigated kaon physics in the NJL model. On the basis of those works A.N. Ivanov received the Doctor of Science degree.
Later I together with group of physicist from Germany and Russia (D. Ebert, C. Weiss, V.L. Yudichev) constructed a simple version of the nonlocal quark model of the NJL type. In this model we described first radial excitations of scalar, pseudoscalar and vector meson nonets, their mass spectrum and main strong decays. We interpreted 19 experimentally found scalar states in the region 0.4-1.75 GeV as the main and radially excited meson nonets and a scalar glueball with the mass 1.5 GeV. For these works we were awarded the 2002 JINR Prize.
In 2003-2005 I together with A.E. Dorokhov and A.E. Radzhabov considered a more complicated version of the nonlocal model with form factors providing quark confinement. Here we proved low-energy theorems, described masses and strong decays of the scalar, pseudoscalar, vector and axial-vector mesons and pion electromagnetic properties(radii and polarizability). A.E. Radzhabov defended a Candidate of Science thesis on this topic.
For the last ten years I and V.L. Yudichev together with German collaborators (J. Huefner, D. Ebert, G. Roepke, D. Blaschke, S. Klevansky and others) have also been studying meson behavior in hot and dense matter in the vicinity of critical values of temperature and chemical potential. We have obtained a number of interesting results in this field.
Now I have 254 publications and 1 monograph. These works are well known and cited. There are some 1500 references to my works in the literature. The most cited publication is the paper in the Ann. Phys. (N.Y.), 157 (1984) 282 (about 200 references).
I also took part in work of organizing committee of many international conferences. Particularly I was a member of organizing committees of all XII conferences devoted to the Problem of Quantum Field Theory. For the first time these conferences was organized by the Prof. D.I. Blokhintsev in 1967.
During fifteen years I was a member of academic council of Laboratory for High Energy. Now I am a member of academic council of Bogoliubov Laboratory of Theoretical Physics.

ХАРАКТЕРИСТИКА

Волков Михаил Константинович родился 27 января 1937 г. В 1954 г. поступил на Физический факультет МГУ. С 3-го курса проходил обучение на кафедре академика Л.Д.Ландау. Дипломную работу подготовил в Математическом институте им. В.А.Стеклова под руководством проф. Б.В.Медведева. В январе 1960 г. закончил Физический факультет МГУ, поступил в аспиратнуру к академику Н.Н.Боголюбову и начал научную деятельность в Лаборатории теоретической физики ОИЯИ. С мая 1962 г. перешел в заочную аспирантуру и поступил на постоянную работу в ЛТФ ОИЯИ, где работает до настоящего времени.

В 1967 г. М.К.Волков защитил кандидатскую, а в 1973 г. – докторскую диссертации. С 1993 г. является главным научным сотрудником. С 1996 г. по 2004 г. занимал должность начальника сектора. В 1991 г. получил звание профессора.

М.К.Волков общепризнанный специалист в области математической физики, квантовой теории поля и кирально-симметричных моделей адронов. Предложенный им метод регуляризации для неполиномиальных теорий поля, получивший название «суперпропагаторный метод» использовался в работах профессора А.Салама, профессора Г.Лемана и других известных западных ученых. М.К.Волков совместно с В.Н.Первушиным автор хорошо известной монографии «Существенно нелинейные теории поля, динамические симметрии и физика мезонов», где также использовался суперпропагаторный метод и были заложены основы киральной теории возмущений для низкоэнергетической физики адронов. Этот метод получил дальнейшее развитие в общепризнанных в настоящее время работах школы профессора Г.Лейтвиллера.

В работах М.К.Волкова, выполненных до 1980 г., не учитывалась кварковая структура адронов. Для более глубокого понимания внутренних свойств адронов и их сильных взаимодействий необходимо было рассмотреть киральную симметрию на более фундаментальном кварковом уровне.

Для этих целей очень полезной оказалась модель Намбу-Йона-Лазинио (НИЛ).
С 1981 г. М.К.Волков совместно с Д.Эбертом приступил к интенсивному изучению как внутренней структуры этой модели, так и к ее различным физическим приложениям в области низкоэнергетической физики адронов. Работы в этой области принесли М.К.Волкову мировую известность.

В последующие годы это направление в физике адронов приобрело большую популярность. Работы М.К.Волкова неоднократно использовались и часто цитировались многими авторами (две работы М.К.Волкова имеют более двухсот ссылок на каждую). Всего М.К.Волковым опубликовано 288 работ, из них 190 в рецензируемых журналах, на которые в настоящее время имеется более 2000 ссылок.

За последние 5 лет М.К.Волковым опубликовано более 30 работ в рецензируемых журналах. В этих работах изучалось поведение мезонов в горячей и плотной среде, были описаны радиационные распады скалярных мезонов в согласии с последними экспериментальными данными, а также выведена нелокальная НИЛ модель из фундаментальной теории К.Х.Д. М.К.Волков в течение многих лет читал курсы лекций по квантовой теории поля в различных университетах Советского Союза. Под его руководством проведены защиты шести кандидатских диссертаций. Он также принимал активное участие в подготовке четырех докторских диссертаций.

М.К.Волков неоднократно организовывал, участвовал и докладывал свои работы на международных конференциях и школах. Он был руководителем многих грантов РФФИ и совместных проектов с учеными Германии, Франции, Японии. В течение многих лет был членом ученых советов ЛВЭ и ЛТФ.

В 1969 г. М.К.Волков стал лауреатом конкурса молодых ученых Московской области. М.К.Волков три раза был удостоен премий ОИЯИ (1977, 1987 и 2002 гг.).
В 2004 г. дирекция ОИЯИ присудила М.К.Волкову звание «Почетный сотрудник ОИЯИ». В сентябре 2000 г. Указом Президента РФ М.К.Волкову присвоено звание «Заслуженный деятель науки Российской Федерации».
