Takuro Mochizuki, Professor
0 student voices
Professor Takuro Mochizuki studies differential geometry and algebraic geometry in the Fundamental Mathematical Sciences Division of the Research Institute for Mathematical Sciences. Beginning with research on the singularities of harmonic bundles, Professor Mochizuki established the theory of objects known as mixed twistor D-modules. In recent years, Professor Mochizuki has been trying to apply the results and insights obtained so far to related objects and more concrete subjects. Specifically, the lab studies solutions of the two-dimensional Toda equation, and instantons and monopoles with periodicity.

Kaoru Ono, Professor
0 student voices
The Ono Lab studies the geometric structure of space, especially the geometry of symplectic structures, in the fields of differential geometry and topology. Floer theory arose by combining the variational framework for studying periodic solutions of Hamiltonian systems with the method of holomorphic curves introduced by Gromov. With collaborators, the lab works on constructing Floer theory for Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms without technical conditions, and on Floer theory of Lagrangian submanifolds and homological mirror symmetry.

Kenji Nakanishi, Professor

The Nakanishi Lab studies the mathematical analysis of partial differential equations. Its main subjects are nonlinear partial differential equations describing the spatiotemporal evolution of strongly interacting waves, such as those in plasmas, water surface waves, superfluids, and optical fibers. A variety of time evolutions arise from the competition between the dispersion of waves and nonlinear interaction. Recently, aiming to capture the behavior of general solutions as a whole, the lab has been investigating transitions between typical behaviors, as well as intermediate states.

Kei Irie, Professor
0 student voices
The Irie Lab studies symplectic geometry, in the fields of topology and differential geometry. It focuses in particular on symplectic capacities and periodic orbits of Hamiltonian dynamical systems. Building on Floer homology, a theory that arose from pseudoholomorphic curves, the lab investigates the computation of capacities, periodic orbits of billiard dynamical systems, closing lemmas, and more. In the future, the lab also has in view establishing a method to compute Floer homology by finite-dimensional Morse theory in situations with a torus action.

Noboru Nakayama, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Nakayama Lab studies the birational geometry of algebraic varieties and complex manifolds. Using birational invariants such as the Kodaira dimension and plurigenera, the lab investigates the structure of varieties, placing particular emphasis on invariants related to the canonical divisor. The lab has also long worked on the classification of varieties that admit surjective endomorphisms that are not isomorphisms, and on ℚ-Gorenstein deformations.

Go Yamashita, Lecturer
0 student voices
The Yamashita Lab studies arithmetic geometry. It lists p-adic Hodge theory, Iwasawa theory, multiple zeta values, Shimura varieties and the Langlands correspondence, and inter-universal Teichmüller theory among its research areas. Students who choose Lecturer Yamashita as their academic advisor are generally expected to study and conduct research in arithmetic geometry. After entering graduate school, students choose a text and present it at a seminar held about once a week, then find a research topic and proceed with their research.
