我能想到兩個,Zagier的那篇Fermat平方和定理的一句話證明和馬仁義掛在arxiv上的證偽Hodge猜想的文章XDDDD

論簡潔怎麼沒人提黎曼的這篇論文:《On the Number of Prime Numbers less than a Given Quantity》http://www.maths.tcd.ie/pub/HistMath/People/Riemann/Zeta/EZeta.pdf
知道點兒數學史的人應該知道, 在那個年代 Math. Ann 處於怎樣的地位. 當時的主編是 D. Hilbert. (Math. Ann 是當時著名的 Brouwer–Hilbert controversy (https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Brouwer%E2%80%93Hilbert_controversy) 中 Hilbert 的陣地).
關於這篇文章, 一個更有趣的事情是, Rabinowitsch, J.L. 是誰呢?
實際上, 正真的作者是 George Yuri Rainich, 而 Rabinowitsch 是他的 bornname. 但是, 知道這件事的人很少. 關於此, 還有一個小故事 (參考: Editor"s Endnotes on JSTOR)
Rainich was giving a lecture in which he made use of a clever trick which he had discovered. Someone in the audience indignantly interrupted him pointing out that this was the famous Rabinowitsch trick and berating Rainich for claiming to have discovered it. Without a word Rainich turned to the blackboard, picked up the chalk, and wrote
RABINOWITSCH
He then put down the chalk, picked up an eraser and began erasing letters. When he was done what remained was
RA IN I CH
He then went on with his lecture.
他還用類似的 A. Rabinowitsch 或者 S. Rabinowitsch 發表過一些文章, 當然, 也有用他本名發表的。(參考 Editor"s Endnotes on JSTOR)
現在這年代, 誰敢發表一篇 Annals of Mathematics 卻不用真名呢?
Equilibrium points in n-person games nash的畢業論文;雖然不短;但也不長,59行。 諾貝爾獎等級的作品。
