In as elementary a way as possible, we place Wiles' proof of Fermat's last theorem into the context of a general description of reciprocity conjectured to obtain between algebraic varieties defined over Q and Hecke eigenvectors in the homology of the spaces of lattices in R n . 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification 11‐02.
