Kiyoshi Oka

Kiyoshi Oka (岡 潔, Oka Kiyoshi, April 19, 1901 March 1, 1978) was a Japanese mathematician who did fundamental work in the theory of several complex variables. He was born in Osaka. He went to Kyoto Imperial University in 1919, turning to mathematics in 1923 and graduating in 1924.

He was in Paris for three years from 1929, returning to Hiroshima University. He published solutions to the first and second Cousin problems, and work on domains of holomorphy, in the period 19361940. These were later taken up by Henri Cartan and his school, playing a basic role in the development of sheaf theory. Oka continued to work in the field, and proved Oka's coherence theorem in 1950. Oka's lemma is also named after him.

He was professor at Nara Women's University from 1949 to retirement at 1964. He received many honours in Japan.
