Contribution to mathematics
Together with Coates, Fukaya, Kato, and Venjakob she formulated a non-commutative version of the main conjecture of Iwasawa theory, on which much foundation of this important subject is based. Iwasawa theory has its origins in the work of a great Japanese mathematician, Kenkichi Iwasawa.
