Timeline

1930

Vladimir Naumovich Gribov (Russian Влади́мир Нау́мович Гри́бов; March 25, 1930, Leningrad – August 13, 1997, Budapest) was a prominent Russian theoretical physicist, who worked on high-energy physics, quantum field theory and the Regge theory of the strong interactions.

His best known contributions are the pomeron, the DGLAP equations, and the Gribov copies.

Gribov was born in Leningrad in 1930.

1938

His father died in 1938 as a result of disease.

His mother, a theater worker, not an actress, brought him up alone with his younger sister.

1939

His second wife was Julia Nyiri (born 1939), a Hungarian physicist.

Gribov founded and led an influential school of theoretical elementary particle physics in Leningrad.

He was widely admired for his physical Intuition, which was often compared to that of two other prominent members of the Landau seminar Arkady Migdal and Isaak Pomeranchuk and even of Lev Landau himself.

1941

In 1941 the family was evacuated deep into the USSR and returned in 1945.

1947

In 1947, he finished school and dreamed of becoming an actor, particularly a cinema actor.

He had to accept, however, his awkwardness in such things and so chose another direction: physics.

In 1947, Gribov enrolled in the Physical Faculty of Leningrad University, graduating in 1952 with diploma cum laude.

Despite his ability, the official antisemitism of the time meant he was only able to find employment as a physics teacher at an evening school for adults, a job with low prestige and salary.

1950

In the late 1950s, he participated in Lev Landau's famous weekly seminars in Moscow, where he met Isaak Pomeranchuk, whom he greatly admired and with whom he collaborated intensely.

In the late 1950s and early 1960s, Gribov recognized an inconsistency in the then popular model of the strongly interacting particles as diffracting black-disks, and replaced this hypothesis with the pomeron, a description of maximum possible interaction which is relativistically consistent.

He went on to formulate the reggeon field theory, a perturbative framework for analyzing reggeon exchange.

In quantum field theory, Gribov was instrumental in understanding how Regge behavior emerges from field theories which are described by point-particles.

He developed the parton model with a different focus than Richard Feynman, using partons to give a qualitative description of the pomeron as a diffusive process.

Close collaborators went on to formulate a perturbative description of the closely related hard pomeron within QCD.

Gribov was the first to note that covariant gauge fixing in a non-abelian gauge theory leaves a large amount of gauge freedom unfixed, which separates the Gauge field phase space into oddly shaped regions called Gribov copies which have the property that it is difficult to stay in any one copy while randomly walking around field space.

Gribov noted that this is crucial for gluon confinement, since a mass gap precisely means that the field fluctuations are of a bounded size.

This insight played a crucial role in Feynman's semi-quantitative explanation for the confinement phenomenon in 2+1 dimensional nonabelian gauge theory, a method which was recently extended by Karbali and Nair into a fully quantitative description of the 2+1 dimensional nonabelian gauge vacuum.

1954

He spent two years doing this, but in 1954, after Stalin's death, he joined the Ioffe Institute in Leningrad (then called the Physical-Technical Institute, PTI), and soon became the de facto leader of the theoretical department.

1971

When the PTI theory department where Gribov worked, became a part of the Leningrad Institute for Nuclear Physics (LNPI) in 1971, Gribov became a leader of a seminar on quantum field theory and elementary particle physics.

This seminar became famous both within the Soviet Union and internationally, because of its open-ended discussions, where prominent Russian scientists often voiced vigorous objections and debated points with the speaker and with one another.

In these debates, each participant was treated equally regardless of position and reputation— the only thing that mattered was the physics.

Foreign guests, no matter how prestigious, would often find themselves interrupted and corrected by Gribov in mid-lecture.

Although Gribov was most interested in elementary particle physics, he enjoyed discussing problems from all fields of physics and drew many inspirations from solid-state physics.

One of the principles at his institute was that a theorist should never refuse to help an experimentalist.

Gribov was not an open political dissident, but he had a reputation as an independent and critical thinker.

So despite his international recognition, Gribov was not allowed to travel abroad for many decades.

He was made a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1971 and a corresponding member of the Russian Academy of Sciences in 1972.

He was twice married and together with his first wife, the physicist Lilya Dubinskaya, had a son Lenya Gribov.

Lenya died in a mountaineering accident shortly after he completed his PhD in theoretical physics, a tragedy which weighed on Gribov heavily.

In collaboration with Lev Lipatov, he developed in 1971 an influential theory of logarithmic corrections to deep-inelastic lepton–hadron scattering and electron-positron hadron-production, using evolution equations for the structure functions of the hadrons, the quark–gluon distribution functions.

This was a foundational advance in perturbative QCD.

This work was extended by Guido Altarelli and Giorgio Parisi and by Dokshitzer and is still very active today.

1980

In 1980, Gribov became a professor at the Landau Institute for Theoretical Physics in Moscow, and in the 1990s he was also appointed a scientific advisor at the Central Research Institute for Physics in Budapest.

1990

Towards the end of the 1990s he was a visiting professor at the Institute for Nuclear Physics in the University of Bonn.

1991

He received the 1991 Sakurai Prize, the 1991 Alexander von Humboldt Prize, and was the first recipient of the Landau Prize awarded by the Soviet Academy of Sciences.
