Masamichi Takesaki
Masamichi Takesaki ( Japanese 竹崎 正道 , Takesaki Masamichi ; born July 18, 1933 in Sendai ) is a Japanese mathematician who deals with operator algebras .
Takesaki studied at Tōhoku University with a diploma in 1958 and a doctorate in 1965. From 1958 he was a research assistant at the Tokyo Institute of Technology and from 1965 to 1968 associate professor at Tohoku University. In 1968/69 he was Visiting Associate Professor at the University of Pennsylvania and from 1970 Professor at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA).
Among other things, he was visiting professor at the University of Aix-Marseille (1973/74) and in Bielefeld (1975/76).
He is known for the Tomita-Takesaki theory of modular automorphisms from Von Neumann algebras . It was developed by Minoru Tomita until 1967, but was difficult to understand, only partially published (in Japanese) and received little attention before Takesaki presented it in a book in 1970.
In 1970 he was invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Nice ( One parameter automorphism groups and states of operator algebras ). In 1990 he received the Fujiwara Science Award. He is a fellow of the American Mathematical Society .
