Re: FLT an incurable, unending addiction



Wiles' proof is a statement about elliptic curves and modular forms,
not the integers. He proved the Tanayama-Shimura conjecture, not FLT.
Frey conjectured that if TS is true then FLT is true, and Ribet proved
it. What information does his proof give you about diophantine
analysis? I also fail to see the elementary part in a 120 page proof. I
can also speculate that Wiles' proof in front of you is like
Dirichlet's proof on primes in arithmetical progression in front of a
calculus student. Do not treat this forum as if it is a publishing math
journal. It is a place to get feedback not to be belittled by guys that
think they know more.
