β¦ Synopsis
i) Instead of x~-l-y'=z "" we use (x -b)"-t-x" = (x-H-a)" (O. 1 ) as the general equation of Fermat's Last Theorem (FLT), where a and b are two arbitrary natural numbers. B)' means of binomial expansion, (0_1) can be written as n ~._ ~ (~)~,-~[a,_(2b),]=o (0.2) r= 1 Because a"--(-b ) ~ alwa)'s contains a+b as its factor, (0.2) Can be written as where Β’,=[a~--(-b)~]/(a-Jvb ) are integers for r =1,2,3 ..... n (ii) Lets be a.factor of a+b and let (a+b)=sc. We can use x=sy to transform (0.3) to the following (0.4) 11--2 (r)(Sv) -Β’,-k'~"JΒ’,-i r=l (iii) Dividing (0.4) by s ~-we have r= 1
On the left side of (0.5) there is a polynomial of y with integer coefficients and on the right side there is a constant c_~/s. If cΒ’/s is not an integer, then we cannot find an integer y to satisfy (0.5), and then FLT is true for"this case. I]" cq~,,/s is an integer, lt:e may change a and e such the cΒ’./sva an integer_

We define the adjoint \(\phi^{*}\) of a Drinfeld module \(\phi\) and discuss the duality between the \(v\)-adic realizations of \(\phi\) and \(\phi^{*}\). We then introduce Fermat equations for the adjoint of the Carlitz module and show how an analog of Fermat's Last Theorem holds for them. 1995 Aca
