Outline Activities
My research field is number theory. My recent subjects of study are multiple zeta values and related functions, finite multiple zeta values, and the behavior at real quadratics of the elliptic modular function.

I am supervising master and doctoral students based on these studies.

I am a member of the committee of algebra section of the mathematical society of Japan.

I am the editor-in-chief of the Kyushu Journal of Mathematics, and an editor of three other international mathematical journals.

Masanobu Kaneko, Hirofumi Tsumura, MULTI-POLY-BERNOULLI NUMBERS AND RELATED ZETA FUNCTIONS, Nagoya Mathematical Journal, 10.1017/nmj.2017.16, 232, 19-54, 2018.12, We construct and study a certain zeta function which interpolates multi-poly-Bernoulli numbers at nonpositive integers and whose values at positive integers are linear combinations of multiple zeta values. This function can be regarded as the one to be paired up with the ξ-function defined by Arakawa and Kaneko. We show that both are closely related to the multiple zeta functions. Further we define multi-indexed poly-Bernoulli numbers, and generalize the duality formulas for poly-Bernoulli numbers by introducing more general zeta functions..

This phenomenon brings us a bio-motivated Lindenmayer system. To investigate conditions for a variety of cell types, we have constructed a stochastic model over Lindenmayer systems. This model considers interactive behaviors among cells, yielding complicated polynomials. Using symbolic computation, we have derived explicit relations between cell-type diversity and cell-type ratio constraint. These relations exhibit elliptic curve-and Fibonacci number-related patterns. This is the first example of elliptic curves to appear in the Lindenmayer context. A survey of the rational points and the quadratic irrational numbers on the derived curves has revealed Fibonacci-related periodic and quasiperiodic patterns. Further we have found that in some region, there are only two elliptic curve-related periodic patterns..
