Re: FLTMA: A little group theory

I'd asked about those conclusions which can be drawn from FLT as
stated, without loss of generality.

Charles Daney writes at http://www.mbay.net/~cgd/flt/flt08.htm that"


To begin with, various routine calculations enable us to make some
useful simplifying assumptions, without loss of generality. For
instance, n may be supposed to be prime and 5. b can be assumed to be
even, a 3 (mod 4), and c 1 mod 4. a, b, and c can be assumed
relatively prime.


That's as good a start as I have seen.
