* ZETA-FUNCTİONS and ARITHMETIC*

Speaker:
*Kazım Büyükboduk*



Abstract: The purpose of this expository talk is to discuss a fundamental
theme in Number Theory: The relation between zeta-functions (objects of
analytic nature) and certain objects (which we generally call them Selmer
groups) of arithmetic nature. Kummer was first to recognize the arithmetic
significance of the special values of the classical zeta-function, using
which he was able to deduce an important portion of the "Fermat's Last
Theorem". Kummer's ideas were much later generalized by Ribet and Wiles (in
a certain sense) to conclude with the full proof. An important portion of
this talk will be devoted to explaining Kummer's ideas, and if time permits,
say a few words about their influence in modern number theory.
