Pierre Schapira (mathematician)

Pierre Schapira (born April 28, 1943) is a French mathematician.

Although these were already in use in France by André Martineau, they were further developed by Schapira and Jacques-Louis Lions.

This work earned Shapira an invitation to Kyoto University, where he met Masaki Kashiwara.

Together, they developed the microlocal theory of sheaves,[1] and have co-authored many papers spanning several decades.

In 1990, he was an invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Kyoto, speaking on sheaf theory for partial differential equations.
