Well, If I were the second author, my annoyance and embarrassment at being associated with this "acknowledgment" would not be greater if the first author had thanked the great Mickey Mouse himself.
It reminds me of Chasles who, though a mathematical genius, was a complete imbecile outside of this domain.

Hartley and Dimitri Leemans, “Quotients of a Universal Locally Projective Polytope of Type {5, 3, 5},” Mathematische Zeitschrift 247:4 (2004), 663-674 Found HereI was curious and clicked through to the article. Here's the abstract: This article examines the universal polytope P (of type {5, 3, 5}) whose facets are dodecahedra, and whose vertex figures are hemi-icosahedra. The polytope is proven to be finite, and the structure of its group is identified. This information is used to classify the quotients of the polytope. A total of 145 quotients are found, including 69 section regular polytopes with the same facets and vertex figures as P. As an atheist in good standing, I would have been okay with the second author thanking Jesus Christ. In fact, I called out his name just reading the abstract. |
