Abstract
Let be a prime number. In the early 2000s, it was proved that the Fermat equations with coefficients do not admit non-trivial solutions for a set of exponents with Dirichlet density and , respectively. In this note, using a recent criterion to decide if two elliptic curves over with certain types of additive reduction at 2 have symplectically isomorphic -torsion modules, we improve these densities to .
