Fermat's Last Theorem is proved by using the philosophical and mathematical knowledge of 1637 when the French mathematician Pierre de Fermat claimed to have a truly marvelous proof of his conjecture. Our approach consists of setting three…

Even though flt is a number theoretic result we prove that the result depends on the topological as well as the field structure of the underlying space.

An alternative form of Fermats equation[1] is proposed. It represents a portion of the identity that includes three terms of Fermats original equation. This alternative form permits an elementary and compact proof of the first case of…

Assuming a deep but standard conjecture in the Langlands programme, we prove Fermat's Last Theorem over $\mathbb Q(i)$. Under the same assumption, we also prove that, for all prime exponents $p \geq 5$, Fermat's equation $a^p+b^p+c^p=0$…

We show that Fermat's last theorem and a combinatorial theorem of Schur on monochromatic solutions of $a+b=c$ implies that there exist infinitely many primes. In particular, for small exponents such as $n=3$ or $4$ this gives a new proof of…

In this paper two conjectures are proposed based on which we can prove the first case of Fermat's Last Theorem(FLT) for all primes $p \equiv -1 (\bmod~6)$. With Pollaczek's result {\bf [1]} and the conjectures the first case of FLT can be…

We propose a new approach at Fermat's Last Theorem (FLT) solution: for each FLT equation we associate a polynomial of the same degree. The study of the roots of the polynomial allows us to investigate the FLT validity. This technique,…

In the present paper we study, in a mathematically non-formal way, the validity of the Fermat's Last Theorem (FLT) by generalizing the usual procedure of extracting the square root of non convenient objects initially introduced by P. A. M.…

This work contains two papers: the first published in 2022 and entitled "On the nature of some Euler's double equations equivalent to Fermat's last theorem" provides a marvellous proof through the so-called discordant forms of appropriate…

Let $K$ be a number field and $p$ a prime number $\geq 5$. Let us denote by $\mu_p$ the group of the $p$th roots of unity. We define $p$ to be $K$-regular if $p$ does not divide the class number of the field $K(\mu_p)$. Under the assumption…

`Fermat's Last Theorem for the exponent 3 has received numerous proofs, the most common of which being either in Euler's or in Gauss' style. This latter works entirely in the ring of integers of the quadratic field generated by the square…

We formalize a complete proof of the regular case of Fermat's Last Theorem in the Lean4 theorem prover. Our formalization includes a proof of Kummer's lemma, that is the main obstruction to Fermat's Last Theorem for regular primes. Rather…

In this paper, we begin the study of the Fermat equation $x^n+y^n=z^n$ over real biquadratic fields. In particular, we prove that there are no non-trivial solutions to the Fermat equation over $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{2},\sqrt{3})$ for $n\geq 4$.

We formalise the proof of the first case of Fermat's Last Theorem for regular primes using the \emph{Lean} theorem prover and its mathematical library \emph{mathlib}. This is an important 19th century result that motivated the development…

This article, complement to the article [Que], deals with some generalizations of Futw\"angler's theorems for the second case of Fermat's Last Theorem (FLT2). Let $p$ be an odd prime, $\zeta$ a $p$th primitive root of unity, $K:=\Q(\zeta)$…

We give again the proof of several classical results concerning the cyclotomic approach to Fermat's last theorem using exclusively class field theory (essentially the reflection theorems), without any calculations. The fact that this is…

The central idea of this article is to introduce and prove a special form of the zeta function as proof of Riemann's last theorem. The newly proposed zeta function contains two sub functions, namely $f_1(b,s)$ and $f_2(b,s)$. The unique…

Recent results of Freitas, Kraus, Sengun and Siksek, give sufficient criteria for the asymptotic Fermat's Last Theorem to hold over a specific number field. Those works in turn build on many deep theorems in arithmetic geometry. In this…

The first case of Fermat's Last Theorem for a prime exponent $p$ can sometimes be proved using the existence of local obstructions. In 1823, Sophie Germain has obtained an important result in this direction by establishing that, if $2p+1$…
