Fermat's Last Theorem
As of 2022, a proof of Fermat's Last Theorem has not been proved in any proof system. Here is a list of some of what has been written about this or things we can do:
-
One piece of low hanging fruit is to add metamath proofs for the n=3 and n=4 cases. Proofs have been known for several centuries so there should be a wealth of published proofs to draw on. Also, these are needed because the proof of Fermat's Last Theorem via the Modularity Theorem does not include these two cases (reference: David Crisp's message to the metamath mailing list of 20 Feb 2023, https://groups.google.com/g/metamath/c/rJ5pHKbGSZg/m/sq6itfKSAwAJ )

See notes from Steven Nguyen at https://docs.google.com/document/d/19dXkojJJt6gq9rYLo6zbz7HpHpD9iMJJkY0LEpGqPs0/edit?usp=sharing which lists some of the pieces to using the Modularity Theorem to prove Fermat's Last Theorem.
