@xenaproject Congrats! Since leaving academia I haven’t followed the topic. Is Wiles’ proof still the simplest/only one, or has there come alternative proofs?

@sorenhave There are different proofs now, some using a generalisation of Wiles' ideas and some using new ideas (e.g. Khare-Wintenberger proved Serre's conjecture which also implies FLT). It's still all elliptic curves, modular forms and Galois representations, but there are several paths to the summit now.
