Mitsuhiro Shishikura (宍倉 光広, Shishikura Mitsuhiro, born November 27, 1960) is a Japanese mathematician working in the field of complex dynamics. He is professor at Kyoto University in Japan.
Shishikura became internationally recognized[1] for two of his earliest contributions, both of which solved long-standing open problems.
- In his Master's thesis, he proved a conjecture of Fatou from 1920[2] by showing that a rational function of degree has at most nonrepelling periodic cycles.[3]
- He proved[4] that the boundary of the Mandelbrot set has Hausdorff dimension two, confirming a conjecture stated by Mandelbrot[5] and Milnor.[6]
For his results, he was awarded the Salem Prize in 1992, and the Iyanaga Spring Prize of the Mathematical Society of Japan in 1995.
More recent results of Shishikura include
- (in joint work with Kisaka[7]) the existence of a transcendental entire function with a doubly connected wandering domain, answering a question of Baker from 1985;[8]
- (in joint work with Inou[9]) a study of near-parabolic renormalization which is essential in Buff and Chéritat's recent proof of the existence of polynomial Julia sets of positive planar Lebesgue measure.
- (in joint work with Cheraghi) A proof of the local connectivity of the Mandelbrot set at some infinitely satellite renormalizable points.[10]
- (in joint work with Yang) A proof of the regularity of the boundaries of the high type Siegel disks of quadratic polynomials.[11]
One of the main tools pioneered by Shishikura and used throughout his work is that of quasiconformal surgery.
His doctoral students include Weixiao Shen.
