Best Known For:

  • Microscopic theory and quantum kinetic equations for Bose-Einstein condensation, including discovery of the constraint-cutoff mechanism and universal scaling of the critical phenomena in phase transitions and theorem on the non-polynomial averages in statistical physics (see V.V.
