Anatoly I. Larkin
1932-2005
Main subjects:
  • Phase transitions
  • Noneqilibium superconductivity
  • Fluctuational and mesoscopic effects in superconductivity
  • Vortices, pinning and creep
  • High-temperature superconductors and strong correlations
  • Localization, mesoscopics and chaos
  • Field theory and 1D systems

Objective: to review frontiers of several major fields in contemporary theoretical physics, that A.I.Larkin contributed. Each Section of the conference will start from the historical presentation, demonstrating the role of A.I.Larkin's ideas and publications in the developing of the corresponding subject. The rest of each Section will be devoted to the presentation and discussion of most recent reasearch results. Both theoretical and experimental presentations are planned.

Framework: the program is supposed to be compiled of about 50 invited talks (about 40 minutes duration) distributed (mainly but not exclusively) between the main subjects listed above.

Location: Chernogolovka is a research center of Russian Academy of Sciences, located 60 km from the center of Moscow. Public transportation to/from Moscow is regular and reasonably fast. Some flexible culture program will be arranged by the Organizing Committee.

Dates: June 24 (Sunday), will be the first working day of the meeting, starting from 9 a.m. International arrivals are expected on June 23 (Saturday). Scientific program will end up on June 28 (Thursday).

Financials: Organizing Committee will do its best to cover all local expenses for invited speakers. However, at present we cannot exclude the necessity of some conference fee. Financial status of the meeting will be clarified later according to availability of funds.

Sponsors of the Conference:
Branch of physical sciences,
Russian Academy of Sciences
