Abstract

Let p3p\geq 3 be a prime number. A Fermat curve over Q\mathbb{Q} of exponent pp is defined by an equation of the shape axp+byp+czp=0ax^p+by^p+cz^p=0, where a,b,ca,b,c are non-zero rational numbers. We prove in this article that there exist infinitely many Fermat curves defined over Q\mathbb{Q}, of exponent pp, pairwise non Q\mathbb{Q}-isomorphic, contradicting the Hasse principle.
