Martin Brandenburg 2010-09-18T19:16:20Z 2010-09-18T19:34:29Z <p>Let $n \geq 3$ be a natural number and $PA$ denote Peano arithmetic. Do we have</p> <p>$PA \models \forall x,y,z \geq 1 : x^n + y^n \neq z^n$?</p> <p>In other words, does Fermat's Last Theorem hold also in non-standard models of the natural numbers?</p> <p>If this problem is open, what is its current state of progress?</p>
