Abstract: Reinhard Folk's scientific work challenged hot topics of condensed matter physics: theory of ferroelectrics, superconductors, superfluids, regular and structurally disordered magnets, spin and quantum liquids, and neural networks.Results of his research deepened our understanding of static and dynamic features of phase transitions and critical phenomena in these systems and laid the foundation for future developments in these fields.Computing algorithms and resummation methods of asymptotic perturbation series proposed by Reinhard Folk and his collaborators cover a wide range of applications.His important contribution to physics was recognised by the academic community.In 1982, the year of his Habilitation, Reinhard Folk together with Volker Dohm was awarded the Walter Schottky Prize of the German Physical Society for their studies of the critical dynamics of helium-4.
