Research Focus:
Igor N. Karnaukhov’s research primarily focuses on theoretical condensed matter physics, particularly in the realm of integrable quantum models and topological phases of matter. He has made significant contributions to understanding strongly correlated electron systems, including the study of fermions with correlated hopping, Luttinger liquids, and Kondo lattice models. Karnaukhov’s work also delves into the spontaneous breaking of time-reversal symmetry in topological superconductors and insulators, as well as the exploration of edge modes in lattice models of interacting electrons. His exact solvable models shed light on fundamental aspects of quantum mechanics and condensed matter phenomena.
