It was told in "21" movie that Cauchy was accused by his student Vladimir Stupnitsky that Cauchy stole his equation. But I googled nothing about such a person.

According to a transcript of the film, Rosa first mentions Vladimir Stupnitsky as Ben's disguise. He later uses the pseudonym to send a code to Ben to define their (non) relationship. So, no, Rosa made the story up, using names only the blackjack group could understand to send a message to Ben.
