Preface to the Eighth Takagi Lectures
Preface to the eighth Takagi Lectures The Takagi Lectures are the first series of lectures in mathematics to be crowned with a Japanese mathematician’s name. The Mathematical Society of Japan (MSJ) inaugurated the Takagi Lectures as prestigious research survey lectures by the finest contemporary mathemati- cians [2]. The lectures are intended for a wide range of mathematicians, and are as a rule held twice a year. The first Takagi Lectures took place in November 2006 at RIMS, Kyoto. Since then Takagi Lectures have been delivered by the following distinguished mathematicians: S. Bloch, J.-P. Bourguignon, E.´ Ghys, M. Harris, M. Hopkins, U. Jannsen, C. Khare, M. Khovanov, M. Kontsevich, P.-L. Lions, J. Makino, P. Malliavin, D. McDuff, J. McKernan, K.-H. Neeb, N.A. Nekrasov, H. Ooguri, S. Smale, O. Viro, D.-V. Voiculescu, C. Voisin, and M. Yor. The Takagi Lectures bear the name of the founder of Class Field Theory, Pro- fessor Teiji Takagi (1875–1960). In Japan, he is also known also as the founder of the Japanese School of modern mathematics [1,3]. Internationally, he served as one of the first Fields Medal Committee Members in 1936 together with G. D. Birkhoff, E.´ Cartan, C. Caratheodory,´ and F. Severi. The eighth Takagi Lectures are to be held in cooperation with RIMS, Kyoto on November 23, 2010 with the distinguished lecturers A. Connes and S. Gukov. The lecture notes of the Takagi Lectures are to be published by the Japanese Journal of Mathematics (JJM). It is the oldest continuously published mathe- matical journal in Japan (founded in 1924) and its third series was relaunched in 2006 as a mathematical journal of research survey articles of the highest scien- tific level in cooperation with Springer. -

Since there had not been any danger signals, his unexpected death was a great shock to all who knew him. Kenjiro Shoda was born at Tatebayashi in Gunma Prefecture on February 25, 1902. He spent all of his school years in Tokyo except when he attended the Eighth National Senior High School at Nagoya. He was graduated in 1925 from the Department of Mathematics, Faculty of Science of Tokyo Imperial University. After spending one year at the graduate school of the same univer- sity, in 1926 he went to Germany for further study. While in Tokyo Imperial University he was a student of T. Takagi. At graduate school, he studied the group representation theory through works of G. Frobenius and I. Schur under the guidance of T. Takagi. The first year in Germany was spent at the University of Berlin where he studied under I. Schur. His first mathematical accomplishment, the beautiful result on matrices, was attained in this period. The following year, 1927, he moved on to the University of Gottingen where he attended the Emmy Noether's lectures on "the Hypercomplex Systems and Representation Theory*'. -

On the History of Hilbert's Twelfth Problem
On the History of Hilbert’s Twelfth Problem A Comedy of Errors Norbert Schappacher∗ Abstract Hilbert’s 12th problem conjectures that one might be able to generate all abelian extensions of a given algebraic number field in a way that would generalize the so-called theorem of Kro- necker and Weber (all abelian extensions of Q can be generated by roots of unity) and the extensions of imaginary quadratic fields (which may be generated from values of modular and elliptic func- tions related to elliptic curves with complex multiplication). The first part of the lecture is devoted to the false conjecture that Hilbert made for imaginary quadratic fields. This is discussed both from a historical point of view (in that Hilbert’s authority prevented this error from being corrected for 14 years) and in mathematical terms, analyzing the algebro-geometric interpreta- tions of the different statements and their respective traditions. After this, higher-dimensional analogues are discussed. Recent developments in this field (motives, etc., also Heegner points) are mentioned at the end.

Cohomology of Number Fields, by Jürgen Neukirch, Alexander
BULLETIN (New Series) OF THE AMERICAN MATHEMATICAL SOCIETY Volume 39, Number 1, Pages 101{107 S 0273-0979(01)00924-7 Article electronically published on October 10, 2001 Cohomology of number fields,byJ¨urgen Neukirch, Alexander Schmidt, and Kay Wingberg, Grundlehren der mathematischen Wissenschaften, vol. 323, Springer- Verlag, 2000, 720 pp., $109.00, ISBN 3-540-66671-0 The story begins in the mid-1930s, with the work of Witold Hurewicz on alge- braic topology. More specifically, the question was how the fundamental group of a complex was related to its homology and cohomology groups. After defining the higher homotopy groups in 1935, Hurewicz considered aspherical complexes, that is, complexes where all higher homotopy groups are zero. For such complexes, he proved in [10] that all the homology and cohomology groups were entirely deter- mined by the fundamental group. At that point, it was natural to ask whether one could find an algebraic descrip- tion of the connection between the fundamental group and the homology groups, one that did not depend on considering the topological space at all. A first step in this direction came from a theorem of Heinz Hopf in [9] that gave an explicit way to construct the second homology group of an aspherical complex in terms of its fundamental group. The construction is non-obvious, and at first glance appears to be non-canonical, since it is described in terms of a presentation of the funda- mental group by generators and relations. Hopf proved that in fact the group he constructed did not depend on the choice of presentation, suggesting that there must be a more \invariant" way of describing it. -

Takagi's Class Field Theory
RIMS Kôkyûroku Bessatsu B25 (2011), 125160 Takagis Class Field Theory ‐ From where? and to where? ‐ By * Katsuya MIYAKE §1. Introduction After the publication of his doctoral thesis [T‐1903] in 1903, Teiji Takagi (1875‐ 1960) had not published any academic papers until1914 when World War I started. In the year he began his own investigation on class field theory. The reason was to stay in the front line of mathematics still after the cessation of scientific exchange between Japan and Europe owing to World War I; see [T‐1942, Appendix I Reminiscences and Perspectives, pp.195196] or the quotation below from the English translation [T‐1973, p.360] by Iyanaga. The last important scientific message he received at the time from Europe should be Fueters paper [Fu‐1914] which contained a remarkable result on Kroneckers Ju‐ gendtraum (Kroneckers dream in his young days): Kroneckers Jugendtraum The roots of an Abelian equation over an imagi‐ nary quadratic field k are contained in an extension field of k generated by the singular moduli of elliptic functions with complex multiplication in k and values of such elliptic functions at division points of their periods. (See Subsections 3.2 and 3.3 in Section 3.) K. Fueter treated Abelian extensions of k of odd degrees. Theorem 1.1 (Fueter). Every abelian extension of an imaginary quadratic num‐ ber field k with an odd degree is contained in an extension of k generated by suitable roots of unity and the singular moduli of elliptic functions with complex multiplication in k.

Interpolation and Sampling: E.T. Whittaker, K. Ogura and Their Followers

Saitoh · G. Schmeisser · R.L. Stens Received: 7 December 2009 / Published online: 13 July 2010 © Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2010 Abstract The classical sampling theorem has often been attributed to E.T. Whittaker, but this attribution is not strictly valid. One must carefully distinguish, for example, between the concepts of sampling and of interpolation, and we find that Whittaker worked in interpolation theory, not sampling theory. Again, it has been said that K. Ogura was the first to give a properly rigorous proof of the sampling theorem. We find that he only indicated where the method of proof could be found; we identify what is, in all probability, the proof he had in mind. Ogura states his sampling the- In Memory of Gen-ichirô Sunouchi (1911–2008), a Great Mathematician and Human Being Communicated by Hans G. Feichtinger. P.L. Butzer · R.L.
