Proved By

Proved by credits the mathematician whose proof actually settled a theorem. Wikipedia notes Andrew Wiles's proof was described as "a stunning advance" in the citation for Wiles's Abel Prize award in 2016, recognition that came two decades after the proof itself. This dimension connects a theorem to the person who finally proved it true.
