Ichirō Satake

Ichirō Satake in Berkeley

Ichirō Satake ( Japanese 佐武一郎 , Satake Ichirō ; * 1927 in Yamaguchi Prefecture , Japan ; † October 10, 2014 in Tokyo ) was a Japanese mathematician.

Satake received his PhD from Tokyo University in 1950 . He was a professor at the University of Chicago and from around 1970 at the University of California, Berkeley . From 1958 to 1960 and 1967 he was at the Institute for Advanced Study .

Satake worked on algebraic groups and their classification. In 1957 he gave a compactification of the Siegel upper half-space in several complex dimensions. The Satake compactification is named after him through the action of arithmetic groups of defined symmetrical spaces.

Satake died on October 10, 2014 of respiratory failure .
