Shigeru Iitaka

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Shigeru Iitaka ( Japanese 飯 高 茂 , Iitaka Shigeru ; born May 29, 1942 in Chiba Prefecture ) is a Japanese mathematician who studies algebraic geometry .

Iitaka received her doctorate in 1970 from the University of Tokyo under Kunihiko Kodaira ( On D-dimensional algebraic varieties ). From 1970 he was assistant professor at the University of Tokyo (from 1976 associate professor) and has been a professor at Gakushūin University since 1985 .

In the early 1970s he introduced the Kodaira dimension named after his teacher and the Iitaka dimension named after him of a bundle of lines over an algebraic variety (of which the Kodaira dimension is a special case).

In 1983 he was invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Warsaw ( Birational Geometry of Algebraic Varieties ).

In 1982 he received the Iyanaga Prize of the Japanese Mathematical Society and in 1990 the Prize of the Japan Academy of Sciences.

Yūjirō Kawamata is one of his PhD students .
