The two theorems run: If FLT is false, then y^2=x(x-z^n)(x+y^n) is semistable, but not modular. (Conjectured in 1982 by Gerhard Frey; proven in 1986 by Ken Ribet via Jean-Pierre Serre).
and
All semistable elliptic curves are modular. (Conjectured by Yutaka Taniyama in 1955, later generalised by Goro Shimura and Andre Weil by dropping the "semistable" bit; proven in 1994 by Andrew Wiles).
put these strange things into a nice little fractint formula.. so we will be happy.. 8-))) cheers, guy
