The assertion is FermatLastTheoremFor 7, Mathlib's predicate which unfolds to: for all natural numbers aaa, bbb, ccc with a≠0a \neq 0a=0, b≠0b \neq 0b=0 and c≠0c \neq 0c=0, one has a7+b7≠c7a^{7} + b^{7} \neq c^{7}a7+b7=c7. There are no further hypotheses and no parameters: the statement is a closed proposition about the natural numbers, phrased entirely in Mathlib terms (no project-specific definition is involved). Note that the quantification is over N\mathbb{N}N with the three variables required only to be nonzero — no coprimality or ordering assumption is imposed, and the statement is about the single exponent 777 rather than about all exponents n≥3n \geq 3n≥3 or all odd primes.

This is the classical case n=7n = 7n=7 of Fermat's Last Theorem, first settled by Lamé (1839); the route taken here is instead Kummer's theorem for regular primes together with the fact that the 777-th cyclotomic field has class number 111. Within the formalisation it is not used as a step in the Frey–Serre–Ribet–Wiles argument but to dispose of a small exponent: it is cited by FreyPackage.frey_no_cofixed_small, which covers the exponents p∈{5,7,13}p \in \{5,7,13\}p∈{5,7,13} by noting that no Frey package with such ppp exists, so the conclusion about Galois-stable cofixed lines holds vacuously.
