    Well, yes, obviously. I was hoping for something number-theoretic, though. Let me reword the title.

      Haha, ok, how about numbers n such that there are nontrivial solutions to a^n + b^n = c^n

      My point is that interesting (non-)existence results give examples of the type I thought you were asking for.

        Oh yeah, Fermat’s Last Theorem. I bet I would have thought of that right away if I was a bit older. The Wiefrich primes came up elsewhere here, and they have a kind of similar background.

        Thanks for the answers!
