Hello,
It is not uncommon in LaTeX to include optional arguments to
theorem-like environments, for example
\begin{theorem}[Buchberger, 1965]
...
\end{theorem}
The result (which can vary according the style file) should look
something like
Theorem 1 (Buchberger, 1965) ...
(See the section on theorems of the LaTeX User's Guide and Reference
Manual, page 59 in my version.)
For the life of me, I can't see how to pass this oprtional argument in
Lyx. I looked in the help manuals. I've downloaded & browsed the source
code, thinking that if the feature hasn't been implemented, I might as
well make myself useful and modify the code myself. Unfortunately, my
analysis skills aren't what they should be; after spending a few hours
trying to figure out which class generates the LaTeX code to start a
theorem-like environment (I was looking for "\\begin{" but that failed),
I figured I'd do better to ask someone.
If the mechanism exists in Lyx already, I'd love to know it. If it
doesn't, I'm still willing to make the change myself, if someone can
direct me to the files in the source code where I should look.

At the very beginning of the Theorem environment, try insert an ERT
inset (the TEX button on the toolbar), and in it type "[Buchberger,
1965]" (no quotes) plus maybe a trailing space.
