Seminars for the week of January 28, 2008
Colloquium
Thursday, 3:20, in VinH 16Professor Nicholas Katz
of Princeton University
will speak on
"Weiferich Past and Future: A General Conjecture"
In the early 1900's Weiferich looked for prime numbers, $p$, such that $2^{p-1}-1$ is not divisible by $p^2$ and related them to the ``first case'' of Fermat's Last Theorem for the exponent $p$. We will discuss the Weiferich phenomenon ``in its own right'' from a modern point of view.
