$S$-Unit Equations and the Asymptotic Fermat Conjecture over Number Fields
Preprint
Abstract
Recent attempts at studying the Fermat equation over number fields have uncovered an unexpected and powerful connection with $S$-unit equations. In this expository paper we explain this connection and its implications for the asymptotic Fermat conjecture.Keywords
