Pierre Schapira is a French mathematician who developed algebraic analysis as a member of Mikio Sato‘s school.

His main collaborator is Masaki Kashiwara. Together, they developed microlocalization of sheaves and ind-sheaves, expanding Sato’s groundbreaking ideas to a complete categorical toolbox to do analysis in a purely (ind)-sheaf theoretical setting.

Selected writings

The theory of microlocalization of (ind)-sheaves was developed in the following works:

• Masaki Kashiwara, Pierre Schapira, Ind-sheaves, distributions and microlocalization, describes the program.

• Masaki Kashiwara, Pierre Schapira, Florian Ivorra, Ingo Waschkies Microlocalization of ind-sheaves, gives the main results

  and proofs.

• Masaki Kashiwara, Pierre Schapira Ind-sheaves, SMF, gives a

  complete account of the theory.
