Bull, August John | Studying Galois Representations Using Elliptic Curves | Diophantine equations and their solution sets are prominent subjects of study in number theory. These equations are often studied modulo prime numbers or prime ideals in field extensions. Galois Theory is well-suited to study field extensions, but Galois groups are often mysterious. To remedy this, ... | | 2020 |

Johnson, Dylan | Modular forms, Elliptic Curves, and Their Connection to Fermat's Last Theorem | Fermat's Last Theorem (FLT) states that if n is an integer greater than three, the equation xn + yn = zn has no integer solutions with xyz 6= 0. This incredible statement eluded proof for over three-hundred years: in that time, mathematicians developed numerous tools which finally proved FLT in 1995... | | 2020 |
