On the first case of Fermat's last theorem

open access: yesJournal of Number Theory, 1985
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

open access: yesManuscripta Mathematica, 1986
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]

open access: yes, 1997
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

open access: yes, 2023
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 .

Diophantine equations after Fermat’s last theorem [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The author considers the following two questions: {\parindent=7mm \item{(i)}Given a Diophantine equation, what information can be obtained by following the strategy of Wiles' proof of Fermat's last theorem?

On Fermat's last theorem and the Bernoulli numbers

open access: yes, 1982
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

open access: yes, 2023
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]

open access: yes, 2015
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

open access: yesTransactions of the London Mathematical Society, Volume 13, Issue 1, December 2026.
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 ...

Polynomials generalizing binomial coefficients and their application to the study of Fermat's last theorem

open access: yes, 1982
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.
