x^n + y^n = z^n has no solution if n>2.

Proof:

  • n=4 [by Fermat]
  • n=3 [by Euler]
  • n=5 [by Legendre]
  • n=12 [by Dirichlet]
  • n=7 [by Lamé]
  • odd primes n<=100 (in fact 84 but let's imagine we are in the dozenal world) [by Sophie Germain]
  • odd primes n such that 2*n+1 is also prime (if none of x, y, z is divisible by n) [by Sophie Germain]
  • odd primes n such that there is a prime of the form k*n+1 where k<=14 and k ends with 2, 4, 8, or X (i.e. k is divisible by 2 but not by 3) (if none of x, y, z is divisible by n) [by Sophie Germain]

(this list only consider odd primes n, since for the only even prime n=2, the equation x^n + y^n = z^n has a solution (in fact, infinitely many solutions), however, of course n=2 satisfies b^(n-1) = 1 (mod n^2) for prime b ends with 1 or 5 (i.e. b = 1 mod 4) and not for prime b ends with 7 or E (i.e. b = 3 mod 4), also not for primes b = 2 and b = 3)
