Proof of FLT for exponent 3

2021, Kvaternion

Abstract

The proof of Fermat's Last Theorem for exponent 3 is based on the fact that Fermat's Diophantine sum equation x^3+y^3+z^3=0 is equivalent to the product form equation (3k)^3=(x+y+z)^3=3(x+y)(z+x)(z+y), where x+y,z+x,z+y are coprime integers. The non existence of a common divisor means that two out of the three numbers x+y,z+x,z+y must be perfect cubes.
