Abstract
André Weil (1906–1998) was 8 years younger than Hasse. He was born and raised in Paris. He received his doctorate 1928 at the University of Paris, supervised by Hadamard , with his thesis “Arithmetic of algebraic curves” where he proved his part of what today is called the Mordell-Weil Theorem. His name appeared already several times in our story since he had exchanged letters with Hasse and had early shown interest in the RHp.
