Topic: A paper mentioning formalizing FLT regular


Alex J. Best (Sep 05 2022 at 14:23):

I just stumbled across a master thesis that talks about the prospect of formalizing FLT regular in 2010! https://scholarworks.calstate.edu/downloads/3b591917r I don't think they did any formalization work, but just tried to give explicit proofs of some components, nevertheless quite funny that this has been on peoples minds for so long

It seems to only discuss case I, that is very natural once one have (as we do) unique factorization of ideals!

BTW I will resume working on the project tomorrow, I think we can finish case I pretty quickly now

Yeah hopefully case 1 is close. I should be able to get back to this in a couple of weeks. But my plan was to also start planning out a strategy for case 2 (or at least put some more details in the blueprint)
