| associated with a solution of Fermat's equation
| |
| :<math>a^\ell + b^\ell = c^\ell.\ </math>
| |
| | |
| ==History==
| |
| {{harvs|first=Yves|last=Hellegouarch|year=1975|txt}} came up with the idea of associating solutions (a,b,c) of Fermat's equation with a completely different mathematical object: an elliptic curve.
| |
| If ℓ is an odd prime and ''a'', ''b'', and ''c'' are positive integers such that
| |
| | |
| :<math>a^\ell + b^\ell = c^\ell,\ </math>
| |
| | |
| then a corresponding Frey curve is an algebraic curve given by the equation
| |
| | |
| :<math>y^2 = x(x - a^\ell)(x + b^\ell)\ </math>
| |
| | |
| or, equivalently
| |
| | |
| :<math>y^2 = x(x - a^\ell)(x - c^\ell).\ </math>
| |
| | |
| This is a nonsingular algebraic curve of genus one defined over '''Q''', and its [[projective completion]] is an elliptic curve over '''Q'''.
| |
| | |
| {{harvs|first=Gerhard|last=Frey|authorlink=Gerhard Frey|year=1982}} called attention to the unusual properties of the same curve as Hellegouarch, which became called a Frey curve. This provided a bridge between Fermat and Taniyama by showing that a counterexample to [[Fermat's Last Theorem]] would create such a curve that would not be modular. The conjecture attracted considerable interest when {{harvtxt|Frey|1986}} suggested that the [[Taniyama–Shimura–Weil conjecture]] implies Fermat's Last Theorem. However, his argument was not complete. In 1985, Jean-Pierre Serre proposed that a Frey curve could not be modular and provided a partial proof of this. This showed that a proof of the semistable case of the Taniyama-Shimura conjecture would imply Fermat's Last Theorem. Serre did not provide a complete proof and what was missing became known as the [[epsilon conjecture]] or ε-conjecture. In the summer of 1986, Ribet (1990) proved the epsilon conjecture, thereby proving that the Taniyama–Shimura–Weil conjecture implied Fermat's Last Theorem.
