Biography
Born on August 1, 1939 in the city of Kazan in a family of graduates of Kazan University; elder brother Yuri (1932-1979) - mechanical scientist, professor of the Kaluga branch of MVTU im. N. E. Bauman [2] .
In 1956 he graduated from high school in the city of Smolensk [3] .
In 1956-1960 he studied at the Moscow Power Engineering Institute and worked at the Kurchatov Institute , and in 1961 transferred to the fourth year at the newly formed Novosibirsk University [4] , the physics department of which he graduated in 1963 (in the first issue) [3] . Later he entered graduate school, after which in 1966 he defended his thesis (in physical and mathematical sciences) [4] (supervisor R. Z. Sagdeev ).
From October 1966 to December 1973 he worked at the Institute of Nuclear Physics of the Siberian Branch of the USSR Academy of Sciences [3] , where in 1971 he defended his doctoral dissertation (in physical and mathematical sciences) [4] .
In 1974-2003 he worked at the L.D. Landau Institute of Theoretical Physics , headed the department of plasma physics (1974-1992), and from 1993 to 2003 he headed this institute [4] .
On December 26, 1984, he was elected a corresponding member of the USSR Academy of Sciences in the Department of General Physics and Astronomy (theoretical physics), and on December 7, 1991, an academician in the section of physics, energy, radio electronics (optics).
Since 1992 he has been teaching at the University of Arizona ( Tucson , USA ), where in 2004 he was awarded the honorary title of professor of the University Board ( English Regent's Professor ) [4] . Member of the American Mathematical Society [5] .
He is currently a member of the Department of Physical Sciences of the Russian Academy of Sciences (section of general physics and astronomy), chairman of the Scientific Council on Nonlinear Dynamics (since 1988), head of the sector of mathematical physics at the Physics Institute. Lebedev (since 2004).
In 2010, he received a scientific megagrant of the Government of the Russian Federation and opened a laboratory of nonlinear wave processes at Novosibirsk State University [6] .
One of the active critics of the Russian government’s plans to reorganize the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS) [7] [8] . One of the initiators of the creation of the Club "July 1" [9] .
Scientific activity
He specializes in plasma physics , the theory of wave propagation in nonlinear media , water waves (including killer waves ), and nonlinear equations of mathematical physics. He constructed the theory of propagation and interaction of solitons in optical fibers.
He discovered the phenomenon of the collapse of Langmuir waves in a plasma. He created the theory of weak wave turbulence and found exact solutions of kinetic wave equations (Kolmogorov-Zakharov spectra). On this basis, he built the analytical theory of wind waves in the ocean. Together with V. A. Belinsky , the theory of gravitational solitons in the general theory of relativity was constructed. He made an important contribution to the theory of integrable systems with a finite and infinite number of degrees of freedom. He is one of the creators of new methods for the exact integration of nonlinear equations of mathematical physics. Using these methods, he solved the classical problem of differential geometry on the classification of orthogonal curvilinear coordinate systems in n-dimensional space, formulated as early as the beginning of the nineteenth century.
Published over 260 scientific articles. As of 2005, V. E. Zakharov was one of the four most cited Russian scientists (after V. I. Arnold , V. L. Ginzburg and I. M. Gelfand ) [10] .
Literary work
He writes poems that were published in the journal New World in the 1990s and 2000s [11] . Since 2003 he is a member of the Union of Russian Writers . In the preface to the first collection of Vladimir Zakharov, Fazil Iskander wrote: “His voice is muffled and even shy. His poems are not for loud reading. But a poetry lover, prone to in-depth lonely reading, will certainly feel the originality of the lines he wrote. ”
In 2009, Ancient Purple published a collection of translations of his poems, The Paradise for Clouds.
Prizes and Awards
- 1987 - USSR State Prize for research in plasma physics.
- 1989 - Order of Honor
- 1993 - State Prize of the Russian Federation in the field of science and technology "for a series of works on the theory of solitons and the inverse problem method" [12]
- 2003 - Dirac Medal (with Robert Kreichnan )
Laureate of the literary prize "Petropol" and the Victor Rozov medal for his contribution to Russian culture.
One of the asteroids ( Asteroid 7153 ) is named Vladzakharov in honor of V.E. Zakharov.
