Hermann Vermeil
Hermann Vermeil (1889–1959) was a German mathematician who produced the first published proof that the scalar curvature is the only absolute invariant among those of prescribed type suitable for Albert Einstein’s theory.[1] The theorem was proved by him in 1917[2] when he was Hermann Weyl's assistant.

gollark: Like I said, this is a *great* example of dealing with one manifestation of a problem instead of actually solving it.
gollark: Well, yes, that is also a problem, since it's such an arbitrary and stupid rule.
gollark: "Better"... how exactly? I mean, we hardly have much to go off there.
gollark: Not that I like this on a magical theoretical level, in any case.
gollark: I... have never really trusted anyone who just says "leave it to us, we'll handle it".
