squarefree.
An elliptic curve admitting a rational cyclic 15-isogeny cannot be semistable.

normalized so that a₁ = 1, multiplicative on coprime indices, and satisfying the
standard Hecke recursion at primes p ∤ N.

at which the mod-ℓ representation is unramified, i.e. ℓ ∣ v_p(Δ_E).
Instances For
The Ribet level divisor divides the conductor of E.
The Ribet level divisor is strictly positive.
The level produced by Ribet's level-lowering theorem: the conductor of E
divided by the Ribet level divisor, as a positive natural number.

is irreducible, then the mod-ℓ representation is modular of weight 2 and level
equal to the Ribet-lowered level.

irreducible, then it is modular.
The Frey curve y² = x(x - aᵉ)(x + bᵉ) associated to a putative
counterexample aᵉ + bᵉ = cᵉ to Fermat's Last Theorem at prime exponent ℓ.

Mazur's isogeny theorem: for primes ℓ > 163, no elliptic curve over ℚ
admits a rational cyclic ℓ-isogeny.
If the mod-ℓ Galois representation of E/ℚ is reducible, then E admits a
rational cyclic ℓ-isogeny (coming from a Galois-stable line in E[ℓ]).
The mod-ℓ representation of the Frey curve is irreducible (for ℓ > 163),
combining Mazur's isogeny theorem with the reducibility–isogeny correspondence.
There is no weight-2, level-2 cuspform: the space S_2(Γ₀(2)) is zero, so no
elliptic curve has a mod-ℓ representation modular of weight 2 and level 2.
The Frey curve attached to a Fermat triple is not modular: combining Ribet's
level-lowering with the nonexistence of weight-2, level-2 newforms.

The mod-ℓ representations of two elliptic curves E, E' over ℚ are

tr ρ_E(g) = tr ρ_{E'}(g).
Instances For
If the mod-ℓ representations of E and E' are isomorphic and E's mod-ℓ
representation is modular, then so is E''s.

Fermat's Last Theorem for any odd prime exponent p, combining the case p = 3
