The discussion centers on a reworded expression of Fermat's Last Theorem, which states that for positive integers a, b, c, and n, the equation a^n = ∫(b to c) n{x^(n-1)}dx has no solutions for n greater than 2. Participants confirm that this refers to Fermat's Last Theorem (FLT), famously proven by Andrew Wiles. The playful suggestion of submitting answers in white font adds a lighthearted tone to the conversation. Overall, the thread highlights the connection between number theory and Fermat's Last Theorem. The discussion concludes with a clear identification of the theorem in question.

I am thinking of a famous formula related to number theory, but I have reworded it (this may not be original to me -- I don't know). Can you name the theorm:

If a, b, c and n are positive integers, then

a^{n}=\int_{b}^{c}n{x^{n-1}}dx

has no solutions for any n > 2. Maybe we can submit our answers in white font letters!

Enjoy,

Steve Rives

Do I have to tell you? It is sometimes written FL...FL something.
 
Andrew Wiles and Fermat...
 
FLT! :smile:

Thread 'Confusion about the Moyal-Weyl twist'

I am studying the mathematical formalism behind non-commutative geometry approach to quantum gravity. I was reading about Hopf algebras and their Drinfeld twist with a specific example of the Moyal-Weyl twist defined as F=exp(-iλ/2θ^(μν)∂_μ⊗∂_ν) where λ is a constant parametar and θ antisymmetric constant tensor. {∂_μ} is the basis of the tangent vector space over the underlying spacetime Now, from my understanding the enveloping algebra which appears in the definition of the Hopf algebra...
