Anatolii Ivanovich Oksak




Known for General Principles of Quantum Field Theory; trilinear Lorentz-invariant forms

Anatolii Ivanovich Oksak (Russian: Анатолий Иванович Оксак; also cited as A. I. Oksak) is a mathematical physicist associated with axiomatic and general approaches to quantum field theory.[1][2]

Career and work

Oksak is cited in the Quantum Collection as one of the authors of General Principles of Quantum Field Theory, a monograph in the mathematical-physics tradition of quantum fields.[1][3] Springer lists him among the editors of the English edition and gives his affiliation as the Institute for High Energy Physics in Moscow.[1]

Russian bibliographic records for the later Fizmatlit edition give his name as Анатолий Иванович Оксак and list him with N. N. Bogolyubov, A. A. Logunov, and I. T. Todorov.[2] The book treats quantum field theory from the standpoint of general principles rather than only as a calculational toolkit.[1]

Oksak also worked on Lorentz-invariant forms and related representation-theoretic structures. His 1973 paper Trilinear Lorentz invariant forms is cited in later work on symmetry breaking operators for real reductive groups.[4][5]

In Ivan Todorov's retrospective article Studying Quantum Field Theory, Oksak is described as a collaborator on infinite-component fields from the mid-1960s and as instrumental in completing General Principles of Quantum Field Theory.[6]

Selected works

  • General Principles of Quantum Field Theory (1990), with N. N. Bogolyubov, A. A. Logunov, and I. T. Todorov.[1]
  • Trilinear Lorentz invariant forms, Communications in Mathematical Physics 29 (1973), 189-217.[4]
