RETRACTED: On the Nature of Some Euler’s Double Equations Equivalent to Fermat’s Last Theorem by Andrea Ossicini

“…More precisely, through the aid of a Diophantine equation of second degree, homogeneous and ternary, solved not directly, but as a consequence of the resolution of the double Euler equations that originated it, I was able to obtain the following result: the intersection of the infinite solutions of Euler’s double equations gives rise to an empty set and this only by exploiting a well-known Legendre Theorem, which concerns the properties of all the Diophantine equations of the second degree, homogeneous and ternary. …”
