California Institute of Technology

I am a theoretical physicist. In the past I have worked on particle physics, supersymmetric field theory, topological field theory, and string theory. Currently I am interested in mathematical aspects of condensed matter physics, including topological phases of matter, theory of transport, and hydrodynamics.

I obtained my undergraduate degree in physics in 1993 from the Moscow State University and a Ph.D. in physics in 1997 from the California Institute of Technology. After spending 1997-2001 at the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, I joined the faculty of the California Institute of Technology.

Description

Recently, a new approach to defining invariants of gapped states of quantum spin systems was developed. In many cases allows to justify the predictions made using Topological Quantum Field Theory.I will provide a pedagogical introduction to these developments.

  • YMSC Probability Seminar | Spectral gap and two point functions for spin glass models

    Abstract:In this talk, I will discuss recent progress in mean-field spin glass models. Specifically, I will present a method to prove that the spectral gap of the Dirichlet form associated with Glauber dynamics is of order one at sufficiently high temperatures. Furthermore, I will talk about estimates on two-point functions for the SK model under high-temperature conditions.About the Speaker:C...

  • Quantum spectra, integrable systems, and variation of Hodge structures

    AbstractA classical theorem due to Birkhoff states that on a real or a complex symplectic manifold a function near its Morse critical point can be transformed by formal symplectomorphism into a power series in the pairwise sums of squares of the local coordinates, called its "Birkhoff normal form". A result of Sjöstrand says that, given certain conditions, one can compute the eigenvalues of the...
