Pierre Schapira (mathematician)

Pierre Schapira ( born April 28, 1943) is a French mathematician.

Schapira received his doctorate in Pierre -Louis Lions in Paris, with a work that already the one used in France around 1965 by André Martineau publicized concept of hyperfunction of Mikio Sato. This gave him an invitation in 1971 to Sato to Kyoto, where he met Masaki Kashiwara. He was in the 1980s, a professor at the University of Paris XIII, and since the 1990s, a professor at the University of Paris VI.

It deals with algebraic analysis, specifically that of Sato justified microlocal analysis, which he associated with concepts of the French analyst School ( sheaves by Jean Leray and -derived categories by Alexander Grothendieck ). He has worked closely with Kashiwara, whom he met in 1971 in Japan, then 1976/77 was in Paris and with whom he published several books.

In 1990 he was invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Kyoto ( Sheaf theory for partial differential equations ). He is a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society.
