Fermat-type equations of signature (13,13,p) via Hilbert cuspforms
Abstract
In this paper we prove that equations of the form have no non-trivial primitive solutions (a,b,c) such that if for an infinite family of values for . Our method consists in relating a solution (a,b,c) to the previous equation to a solution (a,b,c_1) of another Diophantine equation with coefficients in . We then construct Frey-curves associated with (a,b,c_1) and we prove modularity of them in order to apply the modular approach via Hilbert cusp forms over . We also prove a modularity result for elliptic curves over totally real cyclic number fields of interest by itself.

We improve the lower bound for the prime p in the exponent of the diophantine equation in the main theorem, thanks to new computations of coefficients of Hilbert newforms performed by John Voight
