Yoichi Miyaoka
Yoichi Miyaoka (宮岡 洋一 Miyaoka Yōichi) is a mathematician who works in algebraic geometry and who proved the Bogomolov–Miyaoka–Yau inequality in an Inventiones Mathematicae paper (Miyaoka 1977).
In 1988, he reportedly proved Fermat's Last Theorem, but his draft manuscript was later found to have serious gaps (Gleick 1988).
