The Mathematics Genealogy Project (Arnold Sommerfeld) cites Ferdinand von Lindemann as being Sommerfeld’s Ph.D. dissertation advisor. Cassidy (Cassidy, 1992, pp. 100 – 101) cites Paul Volkmann as Sommerfeld’s advisor and cites a reference. Other authors provide information which can be used to decide between the two, in view of Sommerfeld’s abilities. The English translation of Sommerfeld’s Habilitationsschrift (Arnold Sommerfeld, translated by Raymond J. Nagem, Mario Zampolli, and Guido Sandri Mathematical Theory of Diffraction, Birkhäuser Boston, 2003, pp. 1 -2) reveals that Sommerfeld’s Ph.D. thesis cited 14 of his teachers at the University of Königsberg and thanked all of them, but particularly named Lindemann in the line of gratitude. Jungnickel (Jungnickel, 1990b, pp. 144 – 148 and 157 – 160) is revealing on a number of issues relating to Volkmann. He did little research himself, did not attract physicist, had few publications to his name, and as a physics teacher was a "popularizer".
While Sommerfeld attended classes in Volkmann’s Theoretical Physics Institute at Königsberg, he looked to Volkmann’s assistant Emil Wiechert, rather than Volkmann himself. At the end of the 19th century and the early 20th century, there were only four ordinarius professorships for theoretical physics: Königsberg (Volkmann), Göttingen (Woldemar Voigt), Berlin (Max Planck), and Munich, which had been vacant since Ludwig Boltzmann left in 1894, and would not be filled until Sommerfeld was appointed there in 1906. Comments made on the status of theoretical physics in 1899, Voigt only mentioned Planck, Wilhelm Wien, Paul Drude, and Sommerfeld. In a letter to Sommerfeld in 1898, Wien’s assessment was similar to Voigt’s; Wien only mentioned the chairs at Berlin and Göttingen. Keeping in mind that Munich was unfilled, not mentioning the Volkmann’s chair at Königsberg to Sommerfeld was a glaring omission with implications.

Best known for modifying Niels Bohr's atomic model to include elliptical (rather than circular) electron orbits, he also has the dubious honour of being the most-nominated physicist in the period 1901 - 1950 never to win a Nobel prize. He received a total of 81 nominations between 1917 and 1950 but was never once successful. He also came to an untimely death in 1951 after being run down by a car.
