Guy Terjanian

Guy Terjanian

Guy Terjanian is a French mathematician who has worked on algebraic number theory. He achieved his Ph.D under Claude Chevalley in 1966. [ [http://www.genealogy.ams.org/html/id.phtml?id=42454 The Mathematics Genealogy Project: a service of the Department of Mathematics, North Dakota State University] ]

In 1977, he proved that if "p" is an odd prime number, and the natural numbers "x", "y" and "z" satisfy x^{2p} + y^{2p} = z^{2p}, then 2"p" must divide "x" or "y". [G. Terjanian, `"Sur l'equation. x. 2. p. +. y. 2. p. =. z. 2. p. ',." CR. Acad. Sc. Paris. ,. 285. (1977), 973-975.]
