Tomio Kubota

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tomio Kubota ( Japanese 久保 田 富雄 , Kubota Tomio ; * 1930 in Tokyo Prefecture ) is a Japanese mathematician who deals with number theory and automorphic forms.

Kubota was a professor at Nagoya University , where he also received his doctorate in mathematics in 1958.

He was visiting scholar at the University of Chicago and in 1963/64 at the Institute for Advanced Study .

He is best known for his work with Heinrich-Wolfgang Leopoldt on the introduction of p-adic L-functions in the 1960s.

He also worked on expanding the interpretation of the Shimura correspondence of half- and whole-number modular forms with metaplectic groups (originally by André Weil ). His expansion of metaplectic groups played a role in the refutation of Ernst Eduard Kummer's conjecture about the phase distribution or value distribution of special cubic Gaussian sums (Kummer sums, for prime numbers p = 1 mod 3) by Samuel Patterson and Roger Heath-Brown (1979).
