Arthur Neuendorffer perhaps is in Oxford what Alois Kabelschacht is
in room 354 of the Max Planck Institute for Physics in Munich.

<<Stronzo Bestiale is not the only “ghost” who has sneaked into scientific papers. The Max Planck Institute for Physics in Munich has its own prolific fictional researcher, Prof. Alois Kabelschacht. Apparently, in the 1970s, all rooms at the MPI were
designated with room number and the name of the researcher working in the office. No research was, however, carried out behind door number 354: this was where the cable duct was hidden. And with German orderliness, the room was duly named “Kabelschacht
, the German term for cable duct. This gave rise to the running gag among employees that, if any problems arise, they could go talk to Mister Kabelschacht. At the MPI, only professors’ nameplates carried their titles, e.g. Prof. Heisenberg.
Eventually, also the office of visiting professors were marked with Prof. And over time, employees at the MPI decided that also Mister Kabelschacht deserved a title for being so helpful in their discussion. Eventually, door number 354 carried the plate:
Prof. A. Kabelschacht”. And now that Kabelschacht was professor, MPI members also decided that he should publish papers. Prof. Kabelschacht’s first co-authored paper was with Peter Breitenlohner in 1979 in Nuclear Physics B. This paper was followed
by several others, including one written only by Alois Kabelschacht in 1987 on a method now used in the programmin language LaTeX. In contrast to Stronzo Bestiale, Prof Alois Kabelschacht’s research is still going strong: in 2008, “Prof. Alois
Kabelschacht” published a paper on high energy physics, again in Nuclear Physics B. And you can befriend Kabelschacht on Facebook, though he’s sadly not been active since 2013.>>
