Diophantine geometry | Algebraic curves
In mathematics, the Fermat curve is the algebraic curve in the complex projective plane defined in homogeneous coordinates (X:Y:Z) by the Fermat equation Therefore, in terms of the affine plane its equation is An integer solution to the Fermat equation would correspond to a nonzero rational number solution to the affine equation, and vice versa. But by Fermat's Last Theorem it is now known that (for n > 2) there are no nontrivial integer solutions to the Fermat equation; therefore, the Fermat curve has no nontrivial rational points. The Fermat curve is non-singular and has genus This means genus 0 for the case n = 2 (a conic) and genus 1 only for n = 3 (an elliptic curve). The Jacobian variety of the Fermat curve has been studied in depth. It is isogenous to a product of simple abelian varieties with complex multiplication. The Fermat curve also has gonality (Wikipedia).
Theory of numbers: Fermat's theorem
This lecture is part of an online undergraduate course on the theory of numbers. We prove Fermat's theorem a^p = a mod p. We then define the order of a number mod p and use Fermat's theorem to show the order of a divides p-1. We apply this to testing some Fermat and Mersenne numbers to se

Weil conjectures 4 Fermat hypersurfaces
This talk is part of a series on the Weil conjectures. We give a summary of Weil's paper where he introduced the Weil conjectures by calculating the zeta function of a Fermat hypersurface. We give an overview of how Weil expressed the number of points of a variety in terms of Gauss sums. T

Newton's method can be extended to meets of algebraic curves. We show how, using the examples of the Fermat curve and the Lemniscate of Bernoulli. We start by finding the Taylor expansions of the associated polynomials (polynumbers) at a fixed point (r,s) in the plane. The first tangents
