In 1926 He Derived The Klein?Gordon Equation. He Gave His Name To Fock Space, The Fock Representation And Fock State, And Developed The Hartree?Fock Method In 1930. Fock Developed The Electromagnetic Methods For Geophysical Exploration In A Book "The Theory Of The Study Of Resistance Of Rocks By The Carottage Method"(1933); The Methods Are Called "Well Logging" In Modern Literature. Fock Made Significant Contributions To General Relativity Theory, Specifically For The Many Body Problem. In Leningrad, Fock Created A Scientific School In Theoretical Physics.
