Introduction
An elliptic curve over
Q
is said to be modular if it has a finite covering by
a modular curve of the form
Xo(N).
Any such elliptic curve has the property
that its Hasse-Weil zeta function has an analytic continuation and satisfies a
functional equation of the standard type. If an elliptic curve over
Q
with a
given j-invariant is modular then it is easy to see that all elliptic curves with
the same j-invariant are modular (in which case we say that the j-invariant
is modular). A well-known conjecture which grew out of the work of Shimura
and Taniyama in the
1950's and 1960's asserts that every elliptic curve over
Q
is modular. However, it only became widely known through its publication in a
paper of Weil in 1967 [We] (as an exercise for the interested reader!), in which,
moreover, Weil gave conceptual evidence for the conjecture. Although it had
been numerically verified in many cases, prior to the results described in this
paper it had only been known that finitely many j-invariants were modular.
In 1985
Frey made the remarkable observation that this conjecture should
imply Fermat's Last Theorem. The precise mechanism relating the two was
formulated by Serre as the &-conjecture and this was then proved by Ribet in
the summer of 1986. Ribet's result only requires one to prove the conjecture
for semistable elliptic curves in order to deduce Fermat's Last Theorem.

ANDREW WILES
Our approach to the study of elliptic curves is via their associated Galois
representations.
Suppose that
p,
is the representation of Gal(Q/Q) on the
pdivision points of an elliptic curve over Q, and suppose for the moment that
p3
is irreducible. The choice of 3 is critical because a crucial theorem of Lang-
lands and Tunnell shows that if
p3
is irreducible then it is also modular. We
then proceed by showing that under the hypothesis that
p3
is semistable at 3,
together with some milder restrictions on the ramification of
p3
at the other
primes, every suitable lifting of
p3
is modular. To do this we link the problem,
via some novel arguments from commutative algebra, to a class number prob-
lem of a well-known type. This we then solve with the help of the paper [TW].
This suffices to prove the modularity of
E
as it is known that
E
is modular if
and only if the associated 3-adic representation is modular.
The key development in the proof is a new and surprising link between two
strong but distinct traditions in number theory, the relationship between Galois
representations and modular forms on the one hand and the interpretation of
special values of L-functions on the other. The former tradition is of course
more recent.
Following the original results of Eichler and Shimura in the
1950's and 1960's the other main theorems were proved by Deligne, Serre and
Langlands in the period up to 1980. This included the construction of Galois
representations associated to modular forms, the refinements of Langlands and
Deligne (later completed by Carayol), and the crucial application by Langlands
of base change methods to give converse results in weight one. However with
the exception of the rather special weight one case, including the extension by
Tunnell of Langlands' original theorem, there was no progress in the direction
of associating modular forms to Galois representations. From the mid
1980's
the main impetus to the field was given by the conjectures of Serre which
elaborated on the &-conjecture alluded to before. Besides the work of Ribet and
others on this problem we draw on some of the more specialized developments
of the 1980's, notably those of Hida and Mazur.
The second tradition goes back to the famous analytic class number for-
mula of Dirichlet, but owes its modern revival to the conjecture of Birch and
Swinnerton-Dyer. In practice however, it is the ideas of Iwasawa in this field on
which we attempt to draw, and which to a large extent we have to replace. The
principles of Galois cohomology, and in particular the fundamental theorems
of Poitou and Tate, also play an important role here.
The restriction that
p3
be irreducible at 3 is bypassed by means of an
"
intriguing argument with families of elliptic curves which share a common
p5.
Using this, we complete the proof that all semistable elliptic curves are
modular. In particular, this finally yields a proof of Fermat's Last Theorem. In
addition, this method seems well suited to establishing that all elliptic curves
over Q are modular and to generalization to other totally real number fields.
Now we present our methods and results in more detail.
MODULAR ELLIPTIC CURVES AND FERMAT'S LAST THEOREM
445
Let
f
be an eigenform associated to the congruence subgroup Fl(N) of
SL2(Z) of weight
k
2
2 and character
X.
Thus if
Tn
is the Hecke operator
associated to an integer n there is an algebraic integer c(n,
f)
such that
Tn
f
=
c(n,
f)
f
for each n. We let Kf be the number field generated over Q by the
{c (n,
f))
together with the values of
x
and let Of be its ring of integers.
For any prime
X
of Of let Of,x be the completion of Of at A. The following
theorem is due to Eichler and Shimura (for
k
=
2) and Deligne (for
k
>
2).
The analogous result when
k
=
1
is a celebrated theorem of Serre and Deligne
but is more naturally stated in terms of complex representations. The image
in that case is finite and a converse is known in many cases.
THEOREM
For each prime
p
E
Z
and each prime
X
p
of Of there
0.1.
I
is
a
continuous representation
which is
unramijied outside the primes dividing Np and such that for all primes
4
t
NP,
We will be concerned with trying to prove results in the opposite direction,
that is to say, with establishing criteria under which a A-adic representation
arises in this way from a modular form.
We have not found any advantage
in assuming that the representation is part of a compatible system of
A-adic
representations except that the proof may be easier for some
X
than for others.
Assume
PO
:
Gal(Q/Q)
+
GL2(Fp)
is a continuous representation with values in the algebraic closure of a finite
field of characteristic
p
and that det po is odd. We say that po is modular
if po and pf,x mod
X
are isomorphic over
F,
for some
f
and
X
and some
embedding of Of/X in F,. Serre has conjectured that every irreducible po of
odd determinant is modular. Very little is known about this conjecture except
when the image of po in PGL~(F,) is dihedral,
A4
or
S4.
In the dihedral case
it is true and due (essentially) to Hecke, and in the
A4
and
S4
cases it is again
true and due primarily to Langlands, with one important case due to Tunnel1
(see Theorem
5.1
for a statement). More precisely these theorems actually
associate a form of weight one to the corresponding complex representation
but the versions we need are straightforward deductions from the complex
case. Even in the reducible case not much is known about the problem in
the form we have described it, and in that case it should be observed that
one must also choose the lattice carefully as only the semisimplification of
=
pf,~mod
X
is independent of the choice of lattice in Kf2,x.

ANDREW
WILES
If O is the ring of integers of a local field (containing Q,) we will say that
p
:
Gal(Q/Q)
-
GL2(0) is a lifting of
po
if, for a specified embedding of the
residue field of O in
F,,
p
and
po
are isomorphic over F,. Our point of view
will be to assume that
po
is modular and then to attempt to give conditions
under which a representation
p
lifting
po
comes from a modular form in the
-
sense that
p
-
pf,~
over
Kf,x
for some
f,
A.
We will restrict our attention to
two cases:
(I)
po
is ordinary (at p) by which we mean that there is a one-dimensional
subspace of
F;,
stable under a decomposition group at p and such that
the action on the quotient space is unramified and distinct from the
action on the subspace.
(11)
po
is flat (at
p),
meaning that
as
a representation of a decomposition
group at
p,
po
is equivalent to one that arises from a finite flat group
scheme over
Z,,
and det
po
restricted to an inertia group at
p
is the
cyclotomic character.
We say similarly that
p
is ordinary (at
p)
if, viewed
as
a representation to
QE,
there is a one-dimensional subspace of Q; stable under a decomposition group
at
p
and such that the action on the quotient space is unramified.
Let
E
:
Gal(Q/Q)
-+
Z:
denote the cyclotomic character. Conjectural
converses to Theorem
0.1
have been part of the folklore for many years but
have hitherto lacked any evidence. The critical idea that one might dispense
with compatible systems was already observed by Drinfeld in the function field
case [Dr]. The idea that one only needs to make a geometric condition on the
restriction to the decomposition group at
p
was first suggested by Fontaine and
Mazur. The following version is a natural extension of Serre's conjecture which
is convenient for stating our results and is, in a slightly modified form, the one
proposed by Fontaine and Mazur. (In the form stated this incorporates Serre's
conjecture. We could instead have made the hypothesis that
po
is modular.)
CONJECTURE.
Suppose that
p:
Gal(Q/Q)
-+
GL2(C3)
is an irreducible
lifting of
po
and that
p
is unramified outside of a finite set of primes. There
are two cases:
(i)
Assume that
po
is ordinary. Then if
p
is ordinary and
det
p
=
&"IX
for
some integer
k
2
2
and some
x
of finite order,
p
comes from a modular
form.
(ii)
Assume that
po
is flat and that p is odd. Then if
p
restricted to a de-
composition group at
p
is equivalent to a representation on a p-divisible
group, again
p
comes from a modular form.
