Vladimir Korepin (born in 1951) is a professor at the C. N. Yang Institute of Theoretical Physics of the Stony Brook University. Korepin contributed in several areas of mathematics and physics.
Korepin completed his undergraduate study at Saint Petersburg State University, graduating with a diploma in theoretical physics in 1974. In that same year he was employed by the Mathematical Institute of Academy of Sciences of Russia. He worked there until 1989, obtaining his PhD in 1977 under the supervision of Ludwig Faddeev. At the same institution he completed his postdoctoral studies. In 1985, he received a doctor of sciences degree in mathematical physics from the Council of Ministers of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic.
Korepin has made contributions to several fields of theoretical physics. Although he is best known for his involvement in condensed matter physics and mathematical physics, he significantly contributed to quantum gravity as well. In recent years, his work has focused on aspects of condensed matter physics relevant for quantum information.
Among his contributions to condensed matter physics, we mention his studies on low-dimensional quantum gases. In particular, the 1D Hubbard model of strongly correlated fermions, and the 1D Bose gas with delta potential interactions.
In 1979, Korepin presented a solution of the massive Thirring model in one space and one time dimension using the Bethe ansatz, first published in Russian and then translated in English. In this work, he provided the exact calculation of the mass spectrum and the scattering matrix.
