Fermat's Last Theorem for exponent 13

The theorem asserts FermatLastTheoremFor 13, the Mathlib predicate which, unfolded, says: 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 a13+b13≠c13a^{13} + b^{13} \neq c^{13}a13+b13=c13. There are no hypotheses and no variables: the statement is a closed assertion about the single exponent 131313, phrased entirely in Mathlib terms (the predicate is the instance of FermatLastTheoremWith over N\mathbb{N}N with exponent 131313, i.e. nonvanishing of the Fermat form with all three variables nonzero; by the standard Mathlib transfer lemmas this is equivalent to the corresponding statements over Z\mathbb{Z}Z or Q\mathbb{Q}Q, but only the natural-number form is asserted here). Nothing about Frey curves, modular forms or Galois representations enters; the result is obtained from the project's theorem flt_regular, which proves FermatLastTheoremFor p for an odd prime ppp satisfying a class number condition, namely that ppp is coprime to the (finite) cardinality of ClassGroup (𝓞 (CyclotomicField p ℚ)), the class number of the ppp-th cyclotomic field. For p=13p = 13p=13 this condition is verified in the strongest possible way, by showing that the class number equals 111.

This is Kummer's theorem on regular prime exponents specialised to p=13p = 13p=13, 131313 being regular because Q(ζ13)\mathbb{Q}(\zeta_{13})Q(ζ13​) has class number one; the formal statement is the exponent-131313 instance only, with no quantification over regular primes and no reference to Bernoulli numbers, the regularity input being supplied in the form of a class-number-one statement. Unlike the textbook formulation over Z\mathbb{Z}Z, the conclusion is stated for nonzero natural numbers. It is used in FreyPackage.frey_no_cofixed_small, where the cases p=5,7,13p = 5, 7, 13p=5,7,13 of the exponent of a Frey package are excluded outright, so that the small-exponent cases of the main line of argument can be dispatched without the Frey-curve machinery.
