Laboratory introduction

For faculty member details, please see the staff introductions.

Laboratory	Theory of differential equations
Faculty members	Professor USAMI Hiroyuki
Research details	Employing techniques of pure mathematics and theoretical mathematics, our laboratory extensively considers qualitative theories of functional equations, primarily including ordinary differential equations and elliptic partial differential equations, as well as various orders of difference equations. In particular, we aim to elucidate the nature of asymptotic behavior, stability, and fluctuation of solutions.

Laboratory	Theory of differential Equations
Faculty members	Assistant professor Naoto Kajiwara
Research details	In our laboratory, we study the solvability of differential equations and the behavior of their solutions. I would like to obtain quantitative and qualitative information from equations using functional analytic methods and real analytic methods. I am also interested in abstract theories such as analytic semigroup theory and maximal regularity theory.

Laboratory	Theory of differential Equations
Faculty members	Associate Professor KATO Tomoya
Research details	My research area is Fourier analysis and its application to partial differential equations. Modulation spaces are function spaces introduced from the viewpoint of time-frequency analysis and are known that give new phenomena on Fourier analysis. In the framework of modulation spaces, I study on the boundedness of pseudo-differential operators in the field of Fourier analysis area and the initial value problem for nonlinear dispersive equations in the field of partial differential equations. In the future, I wish I could develop or improve known results by using this function spaces.

Laboratory	Dynamical systems theory
Faculty members	Professor KAMEYAMA Atsushi
Research details	In the field of mathematics referred to as dynamical systems, our laboratory conducts research especially of complex dynamics, reduced-dimensional systems, and fractals from topological and combinatorial viewpoints. Currently, we are engaged in coding with Julia sets of symbolic dynamics and analyzing parameter space dynamics of rational functions using this coding.

Laboratory	Solid State Physics
Faculty members	Professor KUBO Osamu
Research details	Under construction.

Laboratory	Algebraic number theory
Faculty members	Professor KOBAYASHI Takako
Research details	Our research field is algebraic number theory. We study class field theory, and in particular, higher-order class field theory, class number, and special functions. For example, we focus on: expression of higher-order local class field theory with the K-group of Galois modules; expression of cyclotomic fields with Maillet and Demyanenko determinants; functional equations and special values of various Epstein zeta functions with respect to the series of coefficients; properties and relational expressions of Bernoulli and Clausen functions; and, multiplexing of these functions. These studies are based on prime numbers. The study of prime number traces back to the era of ancient Greece. We are continuing this study to touch upon the profundity of prime numbers.

Laboratory	Partial differential equations, plasmas, reaction-diffusion equations
Faculty members	Associate professor KONDO Shintaro
Research details	My specialty is the mathematical analyses of nonlinear partial differential equations. Our laboratory has been conducting the study of mathematical analyses of partial differential equations and ordinary differential equations that describe the turbulent flow phenomena of plasma fusion. Recently, we are engaged in research to understand biological issues with the use of reaction-diffusion equations. Also, we have been working to elucidate misperception phenomena through modeling and mathematical analyses of a hierarchical model of the retina based on control mechanisms by "darkening bright areas and brightening dark areas."

Laboratory	Quantum many-body theory, nuclear structure theory
Faculty members	Associate professor SAKAMOTO Hideo
Research details	Our laboratory performs research of issues involving quantum many-body physics in order to elucidate the mechanisms that express collective motions in many-body systems at the microscopic level based on constituent particles and their interactions. Focusing on the role of collective motion to restore symmetry breaking caused by mean-field based approaches and the restoration of symmetry breaking by introducing self-consistent effective interactions and the many-body force, we are working on construction and analyses of mathematical models of quantum many-body systems, analyses of nuclear spectroscopy experimental data, and development of methods for many-body issues such as the boson-expansion method, and analysis programs.

Laboratory	Space science laboratory (radio astronomy)
Faculty members	Associate professor TAKABA Hiroshi Associate professor SANO Hidetoshi Assistant professor MURASE Takeru Assistant professor TSUGE Kisetsu
Research details	Our laboratory conducts observational research of radio astronomy. We are working primarily to observe water maser radio waves around a fixed star using an 11m radio telescope installed at the campus of Gifu University, software development for data analyses, and the study of black holes in galactic nuclei with the VLBI (very long baseline interferometry) observation method. Additionally, we are utilizing cutting-edge telescopes such as the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) telescope, X-ray astronomy satellites, and gamma-ray telescopes to explore the longstanding challenges in modern astrophysics such as the origin of cosmic rays and the mechanisms underlying the formation of massive star clusters.

(1) With the goal of applying a biomolecular motor to biosensors and microrobots, and understanding biological systems through comparisons with artifacts such as machines, we are currently engaged in experimentation and computer simulations. (2) With the goal of understanding sliding friction on a macroscopic scale, we are particularly focusing on developing a method for in-situ observations of friction interfaces.
