Arkady Tseytlin
Arkady Aleksandrovich Tseytlin (Аркадий Александрович Цейтлин; born August 31, 1956, in Moscow) is a Soviet, Russian, and British theoretical physicist. He is one of the world's leading experts on superstring theory and the AdS/CFT correspondence.
In 1974, Tseytlin matriculated at Moscow State University, graduating in 1979. From 1981 to 1984, he studied at the Lebedev Physical Institute, where he earned a doctorate in physics under the supervision of E. S. Fradkin. In 1984, Tseytlin joined the academic staff of the Lebedev Physical Institute. Since 1992, he has been a professor at Imperial College London.[1][2]
Tseytlin has made fundamental contributions to the development of modern string theory. In particular, he, along with E. S. Fradkin, developed the sigma-model approach to string dynamics in curved spacetime and established the central role of the Born-Infeld action in open string theory.[3][4] He also constructed, jointly with Ruslan Romanovich Metsaev, a superstring action in anti-de Sitter space, which plays a central role in the duality between gauge fields and strings and underlies the exact solution of N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory based on integrability.[5]
During the 1980s, Yuri Golfand expressed keen interest in the research of Tseytlin and Fradkin.[6] To celebrate Andrei Sakharov's 65th birthday, Tseytlin, along with his colleague Vladimir Yakovlevich Fainberg (1926–2010), visited Sakharov in his exile in Nizhny Novgorod (Gorky) in May 1986.[7][8]
In 2011, Tseytlin was awarded the John William Strutt, Lord Rayleigh Medal and Prize of the UK-based Institute of Physics. In 2023 he was awarded the Pomeranchuk Prize of the Institute for Theoretical and Experimental Physics (ITEP) from Moscow.
