Abstract
The Bulgarian physicist Georgi Manev proposed a gravitational field with a potential A/r+B/r2, where A and B are real parameters, and determined the analytic expressions of these parameters. He proposed this classical alternative to special relativity in the period 1924–1930. Since 1990 his ideas have found new applications in celestial mechanics, theoretical and gravitational physics (the so‐called Manev‐type field) thanks to the systematic research initiated by the Romanian mathematicians and astronomers. The international conference dedicated to the scientific legacy of Professor Georgi Manev and its reflection in the contemporary astronomy, theoretical and gravitational physics, gathered in Sofia, in May 2004, physicists, astronomers and mathematicians, and stimulated significantly the work in this field. On the basis of updated Manev’s Field Bibliography Database (publications based on this problem or which refer to it), we present here the publication metrics and some statistical results.
