Takahiro Shiota

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Takahiro Shiota ( Japanese 塩 田 隆比呂 , Shiota Takahiro ) is a Japanese mathematician . He is a professor at Kyoto University .

In 1986 he published the solution to the Schottky problem by characterizing the Jacobi varieties by soliton solutions of the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation (KP equation, originally from the plasma physics of Kadomtsev and Vladimir Iossifowitsch Petwiashvili ). That was previously suspected by Sergei Novikov . The work arose from his dissertation at Harvard University in 1984. Then Shiota was at Brandeis University .

Shiota also dealt with integrable systems partly in collaboration with Pierre van Moerbeke and Mark Adler with applications on random matrices. In addition to algebraic geometry and integrable systems, he also dealt with image recognition (where he worked with David Mumford ) and others. a. in the medicine. Shiota was also an associate editor of Mumford's collected essays.

In 1989 he was a Sloan Research Fellow . In 1987/88 he was at the Institute for Advanced Study . In 1999 he was at MSRI .

  7. Mumford headed the mathematics faculty at Harvard until 1984, when Shiota received her doctorate there in algebraic geometry, but then switched to Brown University, where he dealt with image processing instead of algebraic geometry. Shiota did not do her PhD under Mumford, but thanks Mumford for discussions in his work on the Schottky problem.
