A long-tailed probability distribution named for this man is a complex exponential integral with the sum of a linear and a logarithmic term in the exponent. With Eberhard Hopf, he formulated a theory of turbulence that predicted the emergence of more Fourier modes with increasing flow velocity. The interaction of a space charge wave with particles in a plasma that have velocity close to the wave's phase velocity results in a (*) damping effect named for him. In quantum field theory, the momentum scale at which the coupling constant diverges is called his pole, and the quantization of cyclotron orbits creates his namesake energy levels. He formulated a phenomenological model of type-I superconductors with Vitaly Ginzburg. For 10 points, identify this Soviet physicist who co-wrote the Course of Theoretical Physics with his student Evgeny Lifshitz.
