Fermat’S Last Theorem

AbstractThis paper explores the set theoretic assumptions used in the current published proof of Fermat's Last Theorem, how these assumptions figure in the methods Wiles uses, and the currently known prospects for a proof using weaker assumptions.

Fermat’S Last Theorem

In this paper, the author develops 2 theorems that serve as extensions to the well-known Fermat’s Last Theorem in the field of number theory. The first proposed theorem in this paper states that if there exist numbers x, y, and an integer z such that x^n + y^n = z^n for any integer n > 2, then both/either x and/or y must be irrational. The second proposed theorem in this paper states that if there exist a number x, a transcendental number y, and an integer z such that x^n + y^n = z^n for any integer n > 2, then x must be irrational. The proposed theorems in this paper expand on the notion that if there exist numbers x, y, and an integer z such that x^n + y^n = z^n for any integer n > 2, then at least x or y is not an integer, which is stated in Fermat’s Last Theorem.
