Anatoly Alekseyevich Logunov (Template:Lang-ru, December 30, 1926 – March 1, 2015) was a Soviet and Russian theoretical physicist, academician of the USSR Academy of Sciences and Russian Academy of Sciences.[1][2] He was awarded the Bogolyubov Prize in 1996.
Biography
Anatoly Logunov was born in Obsharovka village, now in Privolzhsky District, Samara Oblast, Russia. In 1951 he graduated from Moscow University where he studied theoretical physics.[3] First he worked in Moscow University, later went to Dubna to work at Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR).[4] In 1968 he was elected a corresponding member of The Academy of Sciences of USSR.[5] In 1972 Anatoly Logunov was elected an academician in the field of nuclear physics.[6] Anatoly Logunov died in Moscow.[4]
Research
Logunov made a notable contribution to gravity.[7] He studied quantum field theory.[8] He studied the ideas of Henri Poincare.[9]
Relativistic theory of gravitation
Since the 1980s the name of Logunov is associated with the development relativistic theory of gravitation (RTG), a theory of gravitation alternative to that of the general theory of relativity.[2] RTG has been criticized by mainstream physicists[10][11][12] and has little acceptance beyond Logunov's scientific school. However Dutch physicist Theodorus Maria Nieuwenhuizen[13] and Czech physicist Vaclav Špička advised use of RTG instead of Eintein's theory of relativity.
