Toshiyuki Kobayashi is a Japanese mathematician
known for his original work in the field of Lie theory, and in
particular for the
theory of discontinuous groups
and the application of geometric analysis to representation theory. He was a major developer in
particular of the theory of discontinuous groups for
non-Riemannian homogeneous spaces and
the 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,
the Editor in Chief of the Journal of the Mathematical Society of Japan
, and currently is the Managing Editor of the Japanese Journal of
Mathematics since 2006.

Academic career

He has held many invited positions including Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, USA,
Mittag-Leffler Institute, Sweden, Université de Paris, Université de Paris VI, France, Harvard University, USA, Université de Paris VII, France
