Vilen Mitrofanovich Strutinsky's impact on nuclear and many particle physics
arXiv:1006.5539
Abstract
This paper is dedicated to the memory of Vilen Mitrofanovich Strutinsky who would have been 80 this year. His achievements in theoretical nuclear physics are briefly summarized. I discuss in more detail the most successful and far-reaching of them, namely (1) the shell-correction method and (2) the extension of Gutzwiller's semiclassical theory of shell structure and its application to finite fermionic systems, and mention some applications in other domains of physics.
