Fermat's Last Theorem Essay
I am currently writing an outline for a historical essay on fermat's last theorem. Can anyone explain to me vaguely what sort of complex integers Cauchy and Lamé needed a proof of unique factorization for to solve the flaw in their proofs? The best refence to what they needed I can find is "certain kinds of complex numbers". I assume they didn't just need a proof for just gaussian integers as I can find several reasonably trivial proofs of that.
