trivia, but I just ran into this:
I noticed we have entries:
and
both of them referring to operator algebraists. First I thought we need to merge these entries. But after looking around I guess these are indeed two different people. (The German Wikipedia claims here that the second initial of the author of K-Theory for Operator Algebras is “E” not “A”).
(Notice that the second entry is mistaken, where it says “Home page” it points not to some author’s home page but to the nLab home page…)
Just making sure. Sorry for the distraction.
Both are wrong! See the genealogy page here. It is Evan (actually a Welsh name!). In fact I think the initial A. was a typo made by me! The two can be merged.
Why both? The first seems quite right.
On the second: a “B. A. Blackadar” is cited here, twice. Googling shows one or two more citations to a “B. A. Blackadar”. But possibly these are all typos? (Maybe one single typo that propagated?)
And here’s me thinking it was something about one E. Blackadder….
@ but, David, you have a cunning plan!
One of the Google hits gives a paper with two papers by B.A. Barnes, followed by two by Blackadar (with A as second initial), checking that paper it is by the Evan Blackadar.
Okay, thanks, so it’s a typo that got propagated.
I have removed now the spurious entry and made the links at shape theory go to Bruce Blackadar now.
The typos should still redirect to the correct spelling. Especially since it appears elsewhere, I've added a note to the page.
