Outline Activities
The main theme of my research is a combinatorial study of complex dynamical systems in dimension two, namely the complex Henon maps. I am now working on a criterion of their hyperbolicity, topology and combinatorics of their Julia sets and of their parameter loci, and applications of such complex methods to real dynamics.

I gave a series of lectures on the dynamics of complex Henon maps both in Tokyo Institute of Technology and in Hokkaido University, on symbolic dynamics and data storage in Tokushima University.

I gave a public lecture under the title "Dimension, Fractals and Dynamical Systems" organized by the Department of Mathematics, Kyushu University.

4D space manipulation through multiple projections, SIGGRAPH Asia 2019 Emerging Technologies - International Conference on Computer Graphics and Interactive Techniques, SA 2019 SIGGRAPH Asia 2019 Emerging Technologies, SA 2019, 10.1145/3355049.3360518, 36-37, 2019.11, Seeing is believing. Our novel virtual reality system, Polyvision, applies this old saying to the fourth dimension. Various shadows of an object in a four-dimensional (4D) space are simultaneously projected onto multiple three-dimensional (3D) screens created in a virtual environment to reveal its intricate shape. The understanding of high-dimensional shapes and data can essentially be enhanced when good visualization is complemented by interactive functionality. However, a method to implement an interface for handling complex 4D transformations in a user-friendly manner must be developed. Using our Polyvision system, the user can manipulate each shadow as if it were a 3D object in their hand. The user’s action on each projection is reflected to the original 4D object, and in turn its projections, in real time. While controlling the object’s orientation minutely on one shadow, the user can grasp its global structure from multiple changing projections. Our system has a wide variety of applications in visualization, education, mathematical research, and entertainment, as we demonstrate with a variety of 4D objects that appear in mathematics and data sciences..

The proof employs a combination of complex analytic and complex dynamical methods together with rigorous numerics..

5. Yutaka Ishii, John Smillie, Homotopy shadowing., Amer. J. Math. , 132, 4, 987-1029, 2010.12, Michael Shub proved in 1969 that the topological conjugacy class of an expanding endomorphism on a compact manifold is determined by its homotopy type. In this article we generalize this result in two directions. In one direction we consider certain expanding maps on metric spaces. In a second direction we consider maps which are hyperbolic with respect to product cone fields on a product manifold. A key step in the proof is to establish a shadowing theorem for pseudo-orbits with some additional homotopy information..
