Tomio Kubota (久保田 富雄, Kubota Tomio) (6 December 1930 – 30 June 2020) was a Japanese mathematician working in number theory. His contributions include works on p-adic L functions and real-analytic automorphic forms.[3]
His work on p-adic L-functions, later recognised as an aspect of Iwasawa theory, was done jointly with Leopoldt.[4][5]
He extended the concept of metaplectic group, in a way significant for arithmetic applications.[6] This opened a field for later research on associated Dirichlet series and automorphic forms, and was a major step in the solution of Kummer's conjecture.[7]
