Takeo Ohsawa is recognized for his deep contributions to the theory of the $\overline{\partial}$-equation leading to precise $L^{2}$-estimates for extensions of holomorphic functions from submanifolds of a complex manifold. His work has led to important advances in a wide variety of areas, including local structure of plurisubharmonic functions, invariance of plurigenera, multiplier ideal sheaves, and estimates for the Bergman kernel.
