RETRACTED: On the Nature of Some Euler’s Double Equations Equivalent to Fermat’s Last Theorem
In this work, I provide a new rephrasing of Fermat’s Last Theorem, based on an earlier work by Euler on the ternary quadratic forms. Effectively, Fermat’s Last Theorem can be derived from an appropriate use of the concordant forms of Euler and from an equivalent ternary quadratic homogeneous Diophan...

| description | In this work, I provide a new rephrasing of Fermat’s Last Theorem, based on an earlier work by Euler on the ternary quadratic forms. Effectively, Fermat’s Last Theorem can be derived from an appropriate use of the concordant forms of Euler and from an equivalent ternary quadratic homogeneous Diophantine equation able to accommodate a solution of Fermat’s extraordinary equation. Following a similar and almost identical approach to that of A. Wiles, I tried to translate the link between Euler’s double equations (concordant/discordant forms) and Fermat’s Last Theorem into a possible reformulation of the Fermat Theorem. More precisely, through the aid of a Diophantine equation of second degree, homogeneous and ternary, solved not directly, but as a consequence of the resolution of the double Euler equations that originated it, I was able to obtain the following result: the intersection of the infinite solutions of Euler’s double equations gives rise to an empty set and this only by exploiting a well-known Legendre Theorem, which concerns the properties of all the Diophantine equations of the second degree, homogeneous and ternary. The impossibility of solving the second degree Diophantine equation thus obtained is possible using well-known techniques at the end of 18th century (see Euler, Lagrange and Legendre) and perhaps present in Fermat’s brilliant mind. |
