Hironaka Heisuke (Hiranaka Heisuke, April 9, 1931-), a Japanese mathematician, honorary professor of Kyoto University, president of the Japanese Arithmetic Olympic Committee, was born in Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan. Member of Japan Bachelor's College. In 197, he won the Fields Prize for his achievements in algebraic geometry at the age of 39. He is one of only four orientals who have won the Fields Prize (Hirahira Bunyan in 1954, Hironaka Heisuke in 197, Qiu Chengtong in 1983 and Mori Chongwen in 199).
His wife is Koko Hironaka, a former head of the Japanese Environment Agency. Resume
I graduated from Science Department of Kyoto University in Japan in 1954.
in 196, he obtained a doctorate from Harvard University.
in 1964, the problem of solving singular point sets in classical domain was successfully solved.
He taught at Harvard University in 1968.
On September 3, 197, he was awarded the Fields Prize and the Japanese Academy of Sciences Award.
In 1975, he was awarded the "Cultural Medal" by Japan.
In 1976, he was elected as an academician of Japanese Academy of Sciences.
from 1996 to 22, he served as president of Yamaguchi University in Japan.
In 23, he became the first president of Creative Academy University (which started in 24). Anecdote
Guangzhong once submitted a manuscript under the pseudonym of Kobayashi Issa, a Japanese haiku poet. As a result, there is an Issa's Theorem in the theory of complex variable functions. It is said that when I was a graduate student, I was evaluated as mentally deficient by my teacher. Life story
A famous theorem is Hironaka Heisuke's singularity resolution theorem, which was done 3 years ago, but in algebraic geometry, the solution can determine the definition of tangent.
-Qiu Chengtong
Some mathematicians have strong value judgments on various fields and topics, assert the advantages and disadvantages, and belittle the inferior without scruple. There are some mathematicians who have made brilliant achievements and some who have not achieved anything.
-Hironaka Heisuke
Japanese and American mathematicians. Born in Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan. In 195, he was admitted to Kyoto University. He entered the graduate school in 1954. In 1956, the American mathematician Zaliski gave a lecture in Japan, which brought Hironaka Heisuke into contact with the most advanced topic of algebraic geometry at that time and had a decisive influence on his life. In 1957, he studied at Harvard University in the United States, and received his doctorate in 1959. He taught at brandeis University in Massachusetts and Columbia University successively, and has been a professor at Harvard University since 1968. He directly inherited and developed ZaRiski's achievements in algebraic geometry. In 1975, he was awarded the Japanese Cultural Medal. He returned to Japan in 1976 and served as a professor at Kyoto University, director of the Institute of Mathematical Analysis of Kyoto University and president of Yamaguchi University.
when Hironaka Heisuke went to middle school, it was at a time when the war of aggression launched by Japanese militarism was gradually failing and the national life was very difficult. He entered the factory in the second year of middle school, went to high school after the war, and went to college when he was nearly 2 years old. As Hironaka Heisuke is the eldest son and has many siblings in his family, he still has to find time to be a tutor or do odd jobs to earn money to support his family during his graduate studies in. However, due to hard work and persistent pursuit of mathematics, he eventually became a famous contemporary algebraic geometer.
Hironaka Heisuke's entrance into the hall of algebraic geometry is mainly influenced by three contemporary masters of algebraic geometry: French A.Weil and J.-P.Serre, and American O.Zariski. Because these three masters visited Japan in 1955 and 1956 respectively during his graduate studies in Kyoto University, Japan, their reports made Hironaka Heisuke understand algebraic geometry and aroused his interest.
In 1992, Hironaka Heisuke proposed to establish the Olympic Mathematical Contest, which was held once a year to discover the pupils with mathematical talents. He was one of the initiators of the Japanese Mathematical Olympiad.
Hironaka Heisuke once described the character of Hirahiko Kobayashi, a famous Japanese mathematician and winner of Fields Prize and Wolff Prize, with "playing freely like running water, delving into the truth with deep heart", which may be his own pursuit of life. Main contributions
Since the end of 19th century, many mathematicians have been engaged in the problem of singular point elimination of two-dimensional algebraic clusters-algebraic surfaces. It was not until 193s that Za Riski completely solved this problem, and later solved the problem of three-dimensional algebraic clusters. In 1964, Hironaka Heisuke used many new tools to analyze various situations in detail. Finally, the singular point elimination problem of algebraic clusters of any dimension was completely solved by multi-step induction, and the corresponding theorem was established. Later, he extended this result to the general complex manifold, and made a very important contribution to the general singularity theory. Hironaka Heisuke was awarded the Fields Medal in 197. Works
