Ilya Piatetski-Shapiro was a mathematician whose research linked analytic number theory, representation theory and algebraic geometry. His early work included the distribution of prime numbers in special sequences and uniqueness questions for trigonometric series. His later work on automorphic forms and representations of Lie groups helped connect arithmetic questions with harmonic analysis.[ref]

These connections are powerful because the same object can carry both arithmetic information and a rich set of symmetries: methods for studying its transformations can then reveal properties of its arithmetic coefficients.Identity and discipline: en-exact-sciences.tau.ac.il/math/in-memoriam
