Chernitskii&#039;&#039;&#039; is a Russian theoretical physicist known for his work on nonlinear electrodynamics and for proposing that gravitation and electromagnetism can be unified within a single nonlinear field model. He is listed in &#039;&#039;[[The Worldwide List of Dissident Scientists]]&#039;&#039;.<br /> <br /> ==Work==<br /> Chernitskii is affiliated with the A. Friedmann Laboratory for Theoretical Physics in St. Petersburg and with St. Petersburg Electrotechnical University. His research centres on Born-Infeld nonlinear electrodynamics, a nonlinear generalization of Maxwell&#039;s theory. In a series of papers on arXiv he treats the electromagnetic four-vector potential of the Born-Infeld model as a &quot;unified field,&quot; and argues that electromagnetic interactions appear in the first order of approximation while gravitational effects emerge at second order through an effective Riemannian space-time geometry.<br /> <br /> He proposes on this basis that gravitation can be understood as a vacuum nonlinear-electrodynamics effect rather than as an independent fundamental interaction. Related work examines soliton solutions (&quot;particle-like&quot; field configurations, including lightlike solitons with spin) within Born-Infeld and extremal space-time film models. These unification proposals lie outside the mainstream frameworks of general relativity and quantum field theory.<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> * [http://www.chernitskii.ru/ Personal website]<br /> * [https://arxiv.org/abs/1006.5682 &quot;Gravitation as a vacuum nonlinear electrodynamics effect&quot; (arXiv:1006.5682)]<br /> * [https://arxiv.org/abs/hep-th/0609204 &quot;Gravitation and electromagnetism in theory of a unified four-vector field&quot; (arXiv:hep-th/0609204)]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Scientist|Chernitskii Alexander]]<br /> [[Category:Worldwide List of Dissident Scientists]]</div>
