Algebraic Analysis

Algebraic Analysis: Papers Dedicated to Professor Mikio Sato on the Occasion of his 60th Birthday, Volume I is a collection of research papers on algebraic analysis and related topics in honor to Professor Mikio Sato’s 60th birthday. This volume is composed of 35 chapters and begins with papers concerning Sato’s early career in algebraic analysis. The succeeding chapters deal with research works on the existence of local holomorphic solutions, the holonomic q-difference systems, partial differential equations, and the properties of solvable models. Other chapters explore the fundamentals of hypergeometric functions, the Toda lattice in the complex domain, the Lie algebras, b-functions, p-adic integrals, analytic parameters of hyperfunctions, and some applicatioins of microlocal energy methods to analytic hypoeellipticity. This volume also presents studies on the complex powers of p-adic fields, operational calculus, extensions of microfunction sheaves up to the boundary, and the irregularity of holonomic modules. The last chapters feature research works on error analysis of quadrature formulas obtained by variable transformation and the analytic functional on the complex light cone, as well as their Fourier-Borel transformations. This book will prove useful to mathematicians and advance mathematics students.
