Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Quantum field theory
  • General relativity

His primary scientific interests are in Classical mechanics, Theoretical physics, Cosmology, Ekpyrotic universe and Astrophysics. His Classical mechanics research includes elements of Random measure, Big Crunch, Statistical physics and Mathematical physics. His Big Crunch research integrates issues from Big Bounce and Cyclic model.

His Theoretical physics study combines topics in areas such as Space, Measure problem and De Sitter universe. His work deals with themes such as COSMIC cancer database, Dark matter, Observable and Gravitation, which intersect with Cosmology. Neil Turok interconnects Astronomy and Cosmic microwave background in the investigation of issues within Astrophysics.

His most cited work include:

  • Ekpyrotic universe: Colliding branes and the origin of the hot big bang (1349 citations)
  • Halo Formation in Warm Dark Matter Models (849 citations)
  • Cosmic Evolution in a Cyclic Universe (668 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Neil Turok mainly focuses on Theoretical physics, Astrophysics, Classical mechanics, Cosmic microwave background and Particle physics. His Theoretical physics research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Cosmology and De Sitter universe. His Astrophysics research incorporates themes from Astronomy and Cosmic string.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Quantum cosmology, Initial singularity, Big Crunch and Ekpyrotic universe in addition to Classical mechanics. His Big Crunch research includes themes of Big Bounce and Cyclic model. As a part of the same scientific family, Neil Turok mostly works in the field of Cosmic microwave background, focusing on Polarization and, on occasion, Gravitational wave.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Theoretical physics (28.37%)
  • Astrophysics (26.64%)
  • Classical mechanics (24.57%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2009-2021)?

  • Theoretical physics (28.37%)
  • Classical mechanics (24.57%)
  • Path integral formulation (5.54%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His main research concerns Theoretical physics, Classical mechanics, Path integral formulation, Quantum cosmology and Semiclassical physics. His study on Inflation is often connected to Binary number as part of broader study in Theoretical physics. His studies in Classical mechanics integrate themes in fields like Gravitational singularity, Big Crunch and Unitarity.

His research integrates issues of Big Bounce, Cyclic model, Physical cosmology, Ultimate fate of the universe and Gauge theory in his study of Big Crunch. His Quantum cosmology research focuses on Mathematical physics and how it connects with Lie algebra. His Semiclassical physics research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Complex number, Quantum gravity, General relativity and Quantum field theory.

Between 2009 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Local conformal symmetry in physics and cosmology (161 citations)
  • Quantum resolution of cosmological singularities using AdS/CFT correspondence (108 citations)
  • Antigravity and the big crunch/big bang transition (94 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Quantum field theory
  • General relativity

Neil Turok focuses on Classical mechanics, Quantum cosmology, Path integral formulation, Theoretical physics and Big Crunch. His research in Classical mechanics is mostly concerned with Scalar field. His research investigates the connection between Scalar field and topics such as Geodesic that intersect with issues in Inflation.

His work carried out in the field of Quantum cosmology brings together such families of science as Mathematical physics, 1/N expansion and Gauge theory. His Path integral formulation research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Open quantum system and Semiclassical physics. The concepts of his Big Crunch study are interwoven with issues in Ultimate fate of the universe, Cosmological principle, Physical cosmology, Cyclic model and Cosmology.
