How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T21494012 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

A.
Modular curves and the Eisenstein ideal
"Modular curves and the Eisenstein ideal" is a landmark 1977 paper by Barry Mazur that uses the arithmetic of modular curves and the structure of the Eisenstein ideal in Hecke algebras to prove deep results about rational torsion points on elliptic curves over the rational numbers.
-
B.
Ribet's theorem
Ribet's theorem is a result in number theory that linked certain modular forms to Galois representations and played a crucial role in the proof of Fermat's Last Theorem.
-
C.
Serre’s conjecture on Galois representations
Serre’s conjecture on Galois representations is a landmark statement in number theory that predicts which two-dimensional mod p Galois representations of the absolute Galois group of the rationals arise from modular forms.
-
D.
Eichler–Shimura theory
Eichler–Shimura theory is a foundational framework in number theory and arithmetic geometry that connects modular forms with the cohomology of modular curves and the theory of elliptic curves.
-
E.
Mazur's deformation theory of Galois representations
Mazur's deformation theory of Galois representations is a foundational framework in number theory that systematically studies how p-adic Galois representations can be deformed, with deep applications to modular forms and the proof of Fermat’s Last Theorem.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
