Modular elliptic curves and Fermat’s Last Theorem
TL;DR: Wiles as discussed by the authors proved that all semistable elliptic curves over the set of rational numbers are modular and showed that Fermat's Last Theorem follows as a corollary by virtue of previous work by Frey, Serre and Ribet.

Abstract: When Andrew John Wiles was 10 years old, he read Eric Temple Bell’s The Last Problem and was so impressed by it that he decided that he would be the first person to prove Fermat’s Last Theorem. This theorem states that there are no nonzero integers a, b, c, n with n > 2 such that an + bn = cn. The object of this paper is to prove that all semistable elliptic curves over the set of rational numbers are modular. Fermat’s Last Theorem follows as a corollary by virtue of previous work by Frey, Serre and Ribet.

Local models for Galois deformation rings and applications
03 Oct 2022
TL;DR: In this paper , the Breuil-Mézard conjecture and Serre's conjecture for U(n) with small Hodge-Tate weights were formulated for projective varieties in mixed characteristic whose singularities model, in generic cases, those of tamely potentially crystalline Galois deformation deformation rings for unramified extensions of $$\mathbb {Q}_p$$ with small regular Hodge -tate weights.

The group structure of elliptic curves over Z/NZ
Massimiliano Sala,Daniele Taufer +1 more
TL;DR: This paper classifies the possible groups arising from elliptic curves over Z in terms of the groups E(\mathbb{Z}/N\mathbb {Z}), and provides an isomorphism attack to the ECDLP, which works only by means of finite rings arithmetic rather than involved methods.

Derivatives of L-functions
TL;DR: In this paper, the Riemann zeta function, the Hasse-Weil L-function, the Rankin function, and the Artin function are investigated and the relations between the derivatives of L-functions and the geometry and arithmetic of the associated Shimura varieties are surveyed.

Explicit isogeny descent on elliptic curves
Robert L. Miller,Michael Stoll +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an l-isogeny descent on a pair of elliptic curves over Q is considered and the main result expresses the relevant Selmer groups as kernels of simple explicit maps between finite-dimensional F_l-vector spaces defined in terms of the splitting fields of the kernels of the two isogenies.

Richard Taylor,Andrew Wiles +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a key ingredient of [W2] by establishing that certain minimal Hecke algebras considered there are complete intersections, which is the case for the complete intersection property.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors formulate a conjecture on the values at integer points of L-functions associated to motives and show that it is compatible with isogeny, and include strong results due to one of us (Kato) for elliptic curves with complex multiplication.
