On the first case of Fermat's last theorem
Suppose that there are integers a,b,c prime to each other and to p (an odd prime) such that \(a^ p+b^ p+c^ p=0\). Let \(u=-a/b\). Then, by a classical result, (*) \(B_ n\sum^{p-1}_{k=1}u^ k k^{-n}\equiv 0\) (mod p), where the \(B_ n\) are Bernoulli numbers \((n=0,...,p-2).\) The author gives a simple new expression and a simple proof for certain ...

On Krasner's Criteria for the First Case of Fermat's Last Theorem
The author uses an adaptation of Krasner's method [\textit{M. Krasner}, C. R. Acad. Sci., Paris 199, 256--258 (1934; Zbl 0010.00702)] to prove that if the first case of Fermat's last theorem is false for the prime \(p\), then \(p\) divides the numerator of the Bernoulli number \(B_{p-1-n}\) for all \(n\) between \(1\) and \([\sqrt{\log p/\log \log p}]\)

Class Field Theory and the First Case of Fermat’s Last Theorem [PDF]
For a prime number p, the first case of Fermat’s last theorem for exponent p asserts that for any three integers x, y, z with xp+yp+zp=O at least one of x, y, z is divisible by p. In the present chapter we use class field theory to prove several classical results concerning the first case.

An Elementary Proof of Fermat's Last Theorem v. 1.5
In this present paper we will show you an elementary proof of the Fermat’s Last Theorem, that is ”too large to fit in the margin”, for the general case x^n + y^n = z^n .

On Fermat's last theorem and the Bernoulli numbers
Using Kummer's criteria we show that if the first case of Fermat's last theorem fails for the prime p, then there exist irregular pairs satisfying certain ...

Fermat's Last Theorem for regular primes
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}.

On Fermat's Last Theorem And The Arithmetic Of Z[ζp + ζp -1]
Let p ≥ 5 be a prime and a, b, c relatively prime integers such that ap + bp + cp = 0. A theorem, similar to Stickelberger's, is used to obtain certain relations involving a, b, and c.

Rational points on even‐dimensional Fermat cubics
Abstract We show that even‐dimensional Fermat cubic hypersurfaces are rational over any field of characteristic not equal to three, by constructing explicit rational parameterizations with polynomials of low degree. As a byproduct of our rationality constructions, we obtain estimates for the number of their rational points over a number field and ...

We study properties of the polynomials φk(X) which appear in the formal development Πk − 0n (a + bXk)rk = Σk ≥ 0 φk(X) ar − kbk, where rk ∈ l and r = Σrk. this permits us to obtain the coefficients of all cyclotomic polynomials.
