Hiroshi Umemura was a Japanese mathematician and honored professor at Nagoya University. He was a prominent figure in the field of algebraic geometry and differential equations.
Umemura was born in Nagoya in 1944. He graduated from Nagoya University in 1967. At the beginning of his career, Umemura primarily studied the subgroups of the Cremona group. In the 1980s, while visiting the University of Strasbourg, he began studying Painlevé equations, particularly Galois theory. In 1996, Umemura wrote his first of multiple papers on Galois theory, which was influential in the community surrounding Painlevé equations in Japan. Umemura died on March 8, 2019. At the time, he had been working on an article titled Toward Quantization of Galois Theory with fellow mathematicians Akira Masuoka and Katsunori Saito. The article was published posthumously in 2020.
Évariste Galois was a French mathematician and political activist. While still in his teens, he was able to determine a necessary and sufficient condition for a polynomial to be solvable by radicals, thereby solving a problem that had been open for 350 years. His work laid the foundations for Galois theory and group theory, two major branches of abstract algebra. He was a staunch republican and was heavily involved in the political turmoil that surrounded the French Revolution of 1830. As a result of his political activism, he was arrested repeatedly, serving one jail sentence of several months. For reasons that remain obscure, shortly after his release from prison he fought in a duel and died of the wounds he suffered.
Ribet's theorem is part of number theory. It concerns properties of Galois representations associated with modular forms. It was proposed by Jean-Pierre Serre and proven by Ken Ribet. The proof was a significant step towards the proof of Fermat's Last Theorem (FLT). As shown by Serre and Ribet, the Taniyama–Shimura conjecture and the epsilon conjecture together imply that FLT is true.
In mathematics, arithmetic geometry is roughly the application of techniques from algebraic geometry to problems in number theory. Arithmetic geometry is centered around Diophantine geometry, the study of rational points of algebraic varieties.
Michio Kuga was a mathematician who received his Ph.D. from University of Tokyo in 1960. His work helped lead to a proof of the Ramanujan conjecture which partly follows from the proof of the Weil conjectures by Deligne (1974).
In algebraic geometry, the Cremona group, introduced by Cremona, is the group of birational automorphisms of the -dimensional projective space over a field . It is denoted by or or .
The history of group theory, a mathematical domain studying groups in their various forms, has evolved in various parallel threads. There are three historical roots of group theory: the theory of algebraic equations, number theory and geometry. Joseph Louis Lagrange, Niels Henrik Abel and Évariste Galois were early researchers in the field of group theory.
Arthur Byron Coble was an American mathematician. He did research on finite geometries and the group theory related to them, Cremona transformations associated with the Galois theory of equations, and the relations between hyperelliptic theta functions, irrational binary invariants, the Weddle surface and the Kummer surface. He was President of the American Mathematical Society from 1933 to 1934.
In mathematics, and in particular differential geometry and complex geometry, a complex analytic variety or complex analytic space is a generalization of a complex manifold which allows the presence of singularities. Complex analytic varieties are locally ringed spaces which are locally isomorphic to local model spaces, where a local model space is an open subset of the vanishing locus of a finite set of holomorphic functions.
The Annales de la Faculté des Sciences de Toulouse is a peer-reviewed scientific journal covering all fields of mathematics. Articles are written in English or French. It is published by the Institut de Mathématiques de Toulouse and edited with the help of the Centre de diffusion de revues académiques mathématiques. The editor-in-chief is Vincent Guedj. The journal is abstracted and indexed in Zentralblatt MATH.
In number theory, a compatible system of ℓ-adic representations is an abstraction of certain important families of ℓ-adic Galois representations, indexed by prime numbers ℓ, that have compatibility properties for almost all ℓ.
Marie Henri Andoyer was a French astronomer and mathematician.
In mathematics, the Andreotti–Grauert theorem, introduced by Andreotti and Grauert (1962), gives conditions for cohomology groups of coherent sheaves over complex manifolds to vanish or to be finite-dimensional.
In mathematics, Thomae's formula is a formula introduced by Carl Johannes Thomae (1870) relating theta constants to the branch points of a hyperelliptic curve.
Jules Joseph Drach was a French mathematician.
Georgios Remoundos was a Greek mathematician and a founding member of the Academy of Athens in 1926.
Tan Lei was a mathematician specialising in complex dynamics and functions of complex numbers. She is most well-known for her contributions to the study of the Mandelbrot set and Julia set.
Kumiko Nishioka is a Japanese mathematician at Keio University. She specializes in transcendental numbers, and is known for her research related to the theory of Mahler functions and Painlevé transcendents. In 1996 she published the first comprehensive text on transcendence of Mahler functions, Mahler Functions and Transcendence, extending and generalizing Mahler's method. Her husband Keiji Nishioka is also a mathematician, and a coauthor.
Serge Marc Cantat is a French mathematician, specializing in geometry and dynamical systems.
Claude Chabauty was a French mathematician.
In geometry, the Feuerbach hyperbola is a rectangular hyperbola passing through important triangle centers such as the Orthocenter, Gergonne point, Nagel point and Shiffler point. The center of the hyperbola is the Feuerbach point, the point of tangency of the incircle and the nine-point circle.
