This research program belongs mainly to the area of arithmetic geometry, i.e., to the area which applies the methods of algebraic geometry to solve problems in number theory. A typical example here is the famous Fermat equation x^n + y^n = z^n, where n > 2. Fermat asserted in 1640 that this equation has no solution in positive integers, i.e., that the sum of two n-th powers can never be an n-th power, if n > 2. This was resolved in 1995 when Wiles, using ideas and results of Frey and Ribet in arithmetic geometry, proved that this assertion is indeed true.

该研究计划主要属于算术几何形状的区域，即应用代数几何方法来解决数量理论中的问题的区域。这里的一个典型例子是著名的费马特方程x^n + y^n = z^n，其中n>2。在1640年断言，该方程在积极的整数中没有解决方案，即，两个n-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-th-powers的总和永远不会是n-th-th-th-the Power，如果N> 2。断言确实是正确的。
