hello there, chemist here...the person to whom you are referring is the deceased hungarian mathematician paul erdos (p\'al erd\"os, i believe, is the proper spelling)...one can compute their ``erd\"os number'' which is how far removed from erd\"os an author is/was on a publication....all the best, chemist
