Abstract
Let be a positive integer and consider the Diophantine equation of generalized Fermat type in nonzero coprime integer unknowns . Using methods of modular forms and Galois representations for approaching Diophantine equations, we show that for there are no solutions to this equation. Combining this with previously known results, this allows a complete description of all solutions to the Diophantine equation above for . Finally, we show that there are also no solutions for .
