Functional Analytic Methods for Heat Green Operators: Heat Kernel Asymptotics Via the Weyl-Hörmander Calculus

Dr. Kazuaki Taira was awarded a Doctor of Science degree by the University of Tokyo (1976) and a Doctorat d'État degree by Université de Paris-Sud (Orsay) (1978), where he had studied on a French government scholarship (1976-1978). He was also a member of the Institute for Advanced Study (Princeton) (1980-1981), an associate professor at the University of Tsukuba (1981-1995), and a professor at Hiroshima University (1995-1998). In 1998, he accepted an offer from the University of Tsukuba to teach there again as a professor. He was also a part-time professor at Waseda University (2009-2017). His current research interests are in three interrelated subjects in analysis: semigroups, elliptic boundary value problems and Markov processes.

平井和明博士於1976年獲得東京大學的科學博士學位，並於1978年獲得巴黎南方大學（Orsay）的國家博士學位，期間他曾獲得法國政府獎學金（1976-1978）。他也是普林斯頓高等研究院的成員（1980-1981），曾擔任筑波大學的副教授（1981-1995），以及廣島大學的教授（1995-1998）。1998年，他接受筑波大學的邀請，再次擔任該校的教授。他還曾擔任早稻田大學的兼任教授（2009-2017）。他目前的研究興趣集中在三個相互關聯的分析主題上：半群、橢圓邊界值問題和馬可夫過程。
