Masaki Kashiwara (柏原 正樹, Kashiwara Masaki, born January 30, 1947 in Yūki, Ibaraki) is a Japanese mathematician. He was a student of Mikio Sato at the University of Tokyo. Kashiwara made leading contributions towards algebraic analysis, microlocal analysis, D-module theory, Hodge theory, sheaf theory and representation theory.[1]
Kashiwara and Sato established the foundations of the theory of systems of linear partial differential equations with analytic coefficients, introducing a cohomological approach that follows the spirit of Grothendieck's theory of schemes. Bernstein introduced a similar approach in the polynomial coefficients case. Kashiwara's master thesis states the foundations of D-module theory. His PhD thesis proves the rationality of the roots of b-functions (Bernstein–Sato polynomials), using D-module theory and resolution of singularities.[1] He was a plenary speaker at International Congress of Mathematicians, 1978, Helsinki and an invited speaker, 1990, Kyoto.
He is a member of the French Academy of Sciences and of the Japan Academy.
