When Did Hermann Weyl Pass Away? (2019)

unapi

We show that in the existing bibliography there are many contradictory claims about the exact date of death of Hermann Weyl and, after a detailed exposition of the way we got our evidence, we demonstrate that Weyl died on 8 December 1955. The paper also shows up the fact that an authoritative intellectual biography on Weyl is yet to be written.
