Ribet's contributions in number theory and algebraic geometry were described by Benedict Gross and Barry Mazur as being "key to our understanding of the connections between the theory of modular forms and the ℓ-adic representations of the absolute Galois group of the field of rational numbers.
Kontribusi Ribet dalam teori bilangan dan geometri aljabar digambarkan oleh Benedict Gross dan Barry Mazur sebagai "kunci bagi pemahaman kita tentang hubungan antara teori bentuk modular dan representasi ℓ-adik dari grup Galois absolut dari bidang bilangan rasional.
" Ribet is credited with paving the way towards Andrew Wiles's proof of Fermat's Last Theorem.
" Ribet diakui telah merintis jalan menuju pembuktian Teorema Terakhir Fermat oleh Andrew Wiles.
In 1986, Ribet proved that the epsilon conjecture formulated by Jean-Pierre Serre was true, and thereby proved that Fermat's Last Theorem would follow from the Taniyama–Shimura conjecture.
Pada tahun 1986, Ribet membuktikan bahwa dugaan epsilon yang dirumuskan oleh Jean-Pierre Serre adalah benar, dan dengan demikian membuktikan bahwa Teorema Terakhir Fermat dapat diturunkan dari dugaan Taniyama–Shimura.
An earlier theorem of Ribet's, the Herbrand–Ribet theorem, is the converse to Herbrand's theorem on the divisibility properties of Bernoulli numbers and is also related to Fermat's Last Theorem.
Teorema Ribet sebelumnya, yaitu teorema Herbrand–Ribet, merupakan kebalikan dari teorema Herbrand tentang sifat keterbagian bilangan Bernoulli dan juga berkaitan dengan Teorema Terakhir Fermat.
