Via the theory of zeta integrals initiated by Kenkichi Iwasawa and by John Tate in Tate's thesis it is related to the study of the zeta function of global fields.

Tate's thesis ( 1950 ) on Fourier analysis in number fields has become one of the ingredients for the modern theory of automorphic forms and their L-functions, notably by its use of the adele ring, its self-duality and harmonic analysis on it ; independently and a little earlier, Kenkichi Iwasawa obtained a similar theory.

The latter was explicitly introduced in papers of Kenkichi Iwasawa and John Tate.

It began as a Galois module theory of ideal class groups, initiated by Kenkichi Iwasawa, in the 1950s, as part of the theory of cyclotomic fields.

It is named after Kenkichi Iwasawa, the Japanese mathematician who developed this method.
