On The Second Case Of Fermat's Last Theorem Over Cyclotomic Fields, Owen Sweeney

Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects

We obtain a new simpler sufficient condition for Kolyvagin's criteria, regarding the second case of Fermat's last theorem with prime exponent p over the p-th cyclotomic field, to hold. It covers cases when the existing simpler sufficient conditions do not hold and is important for the theoretical study of the criteria.
