Diophantine equations after Fermat's Theorem
Speaker: Dr. Samir Siksek (University of Warwick)
Time: 4:00PM
Date: Wed 4th March 2009
Location: Mathematical Sciences Seminar Room
Abstract
We aim to shed light on the following two questions:
(i) Given a Diophantine equation, what information can be obtained by following the strategy of Wiles' proof of Fermat's Last Theorem?
(ii) Is it useful to combine this approach with classical (pre-Wiles) approaches to Diophantine equations?
(This talk is part of the K-Theory, Quadratic Forms and Number Theory series.)
