Mar 15, 2010 at 12:27 comment added Thomas Riepe Hi Qiaochu, which of the many "excellent article(s) by Barry Mazur" is it which you read?
Mar 14, 2010 at 15:33 comment added Anonymous @Kevin: yes, I knew that and thanks for making it clear. I was just surprised to hear that Siegel had (as it turns out) another proof of the result.
Mar 14, 2010 at 8:11 comment added Kevin Buzzard @Anonymous: the class number 1 result was proved independently of any statements about Fibonacci numbers by Baker, Stark and Heegner-Birch.
Mar 14, 2010 at 6:01 comment added Anonymous Thanks. The papers listed in the answers to that question is the one I remember seeing. So this means that the Theorem above is a true theorem.

Mar 14, 2010 at 4:37 comment added Anonymous Is it true that the only Fibonacci numbers that are cubes are $0, \pm 1, \pm 8$? I seem to recall a recent paper proving this...
Mar 14, 2010 at 2:16 comment added Qiaochu Yuan Whoops! I was reading a different excellent article by Barry Mazur today and got confused.
