In these lectures, we give a very utilitarian description of the Galois cohomology needed in Wiles’ proof. For a more general approach, see any of the references. First we fix some notation. For a… Expand

Class numbers of the simplest cubic fields
- L. Washington
- Mathematics
- 1987
Using the "simplest cubic fields" of D. Shanks, we give a modified proof and an extension of a result of Uchida, showing how to obtain cyclic cubic fields with class number divisible by n, for any n.… Expand
p-AdicL-Functions and Sums of Powers

Abstract We give an explicit p -adic expansion of ∑ np j =1, ( j , p )=1 j − r as a power series in n . The coefficients are values of p -adic L -functions.
