"Γ is dual to the discrete group of all p-power roots of unity in the complex numbers." The p-power roots of unity in the complex numbers are not discrete w.r.t. the usual topology.

[edit] Urban-Skinner

I have made some minor changes in the history page.

I have put the sentences about Euler System methods in a separate paragraph before the announcement of Skinner-Urban, since it was ten years prior.

I have also removed the reference to Urban-Skinner's "note aux CRAS" which was a mistake, since this note has nothing to do with the main conjecture (it is a different announcement by the same guys).

In my opinion, the whole Urban-Skinner paragraph could as well be suppressed, since it does not meet Wikipedia's "verifiable source' requirement. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 160.39.47.33 (talk) 11:11, August 28, 2007 (UTC)
