S. Vandiver.[3]
Morishima's Theorem on FLT
- Let m be a prime number not exceeding 31. Let p be prime, and let x, y, z be integers such that xp + yp + zp = 0. Assume that p does not divide the product xyz. Then, p² must divide mp − 1-1.
Review
Granville wrote that Morishima's proof could not be accepted. [1]
