von Neumann’s letter has it all: a discussion of the theory of spectra of Hermitian operators, inquiries about spin-geometries and not least of all, gossip. Lots of gossips. 🔗 https://www.cantorsparadise.com/john-von-neumanns-1935-letter-to-oswald-veblen-3acbe1b69098

Interesting for me to learn (via http://mia.ele-math.com/01-05/Why-Holder-s-inequality-should-be-called-Rogers-inequality):
"Hölder's inequality" was first proven in 1888 by L.J. Rogers.
In Hölder's paper of 1889, he includes this result, accurately attributing it to Rogers.
By luck of early citations (including from some big names of the time), the result is now known near-universally as "Hölder's inequality".
The author of this article subsequently advocates for using "Rogers-Hölder Inequality" going forward.
