Toshiyuki Kobayashi

Toshiyuki Kobayashi (born 1962) is a Japanese mathematicianknown for his original work in the field of Lie theory, and in particular for thetheory of discontinuous groups(lattice in Lie groups)and the application of geometric analysis to representation theory . He was a major developer inparticular of the theory of discontinuous groups for non-Riemannian homogeneous spaces andthe theory of discrete breaking symmetry in unitary representation theory.

He has been a member of the Science Council of Japan since 2006,Board of Trustees of the Mathematical Society of Japan (2003-2007),the Editor in Chief of the Journal of the Mathematical Society of Japan(2002-2006), and currently is the Managing Editor of the Japanese Journal of Mathematics since 2006.
