Topic
An introduction to the modular method and Fermat-type equations.
Speakers
Details
In this talk we will introduce the modular method, the approach followed by Wiles to prove Fermat’s Last Theorem. We will explain the role of elliptic curves, modular forms, and Galois representations in this framework, and discuss how the method has evolved in recent years.
