The head of the scientific school of theoretical physicists specialized in the research of classification problems in gravity theory. Valery Oukhov assisted to the development  of the principles of classifications of spatio-temporal manifolds  according to the presence of specified sets of Killing's fields. Important classification problems for Stackel, conformally-stackel and homogeneous spaces for general theory of relativity (both in the presence of substance and in vacuum, as well as for alternative gravitation theories (including theories with a dilatopic field) have been set and solved. As a result a new scientific school on the verge of gravity and mathematical physics was created.

Articles in the leading foreign journals (J. Math Phys., Journal of Phys., Phys. Lett., and others) are regularly quoted by the specialists in the field of gravitation and mathematical physics.
