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, where he graduated in 1979. From 1981 to 1984 he studied at the Lebedev Physical Institute, where he graduated with a doctorate in physics. His doctoral advisor was E. S. Fradkin. In 1984 Tseytlin joined the academic staff of the Lebedev Physical Institute. Since 1992 he is a professor at Imperial College London.[1][2]
Tseytlin made fundamental contributions to the development of modern string theory. In particular, he, with E. S. Fradkin, developed the sigma-model approach to string dynamics in curved space-time and established the central role of the Born-Infeld action in open string theory.[3][4] Tseytlin 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 a keen interest in the research of Tseytlin and Fradkin.[6] In order to join in the celebration of Andrei Sakharov's 65th birthday, Tseytlin, with his colleague Vladimir Yakovlevich Fainberg (1926–2010), in May 1986 visited Sakharov in his exile in Nizhny Novgorod (Gorky).[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.
