Research activity:
V. Belinski is a theoretical physicist specialized in General Relativity and Cosmology and had published about 60 scientific papers in these fields. He is best known for two research results:
- the proof that there exist singularity of infinite curvature in the general solution of the Einstein equations, and the discovery of oscillatory chaotic structure of that singularity (1968-1975, with E.M.Lifshitz and I.M.Khalatnikov); and
- the implantation of the Inverse Scattering Method into General Relativity and discovery of gravitational solitons (1977-1982, with V.E.Zakharov).
