Hochschild's "On the Cohomology Groups of an Associative Algebra" (Annals of Mathematics 1945, the paper that founded Hochschild cohomology) addresses the author at "Aberdeen Proving Ground, Md.". It seems to me that this is by far not the only case of mathematicians working for the US military during and directly after WWII (although the Manhattan Project staff would hardly have put their locations on their publications). | |
