Morishima's Theorem on FLT

Let m be a prime number not exceeding 31. Let p be prime, and let x, y, z be integers such that x^p + y^p + z^p = 0. Assume that p does not divide the product xyz. Then, p² must divide m^{p − 1}-1.

Review

Granville wrote that Morishima's proof could not be accepted. [1]
