Abstract

In this paper, we use the modular method over totally real fields together with some standard conjectures (the Weak Frey--Mazur Conjecture and the Eichler--Shimura Conjecture) to prove that infinitely many equations of the type xr+yr=Dzpx^r+y^r=Dz^p do not have any non-trivial primitive integer solutions, where r5r \geq 5 is a fixed prime, whenever pp is large enough. For r3(mod4)r \equiv 3 \pmod 4, we get the same result with only assuming the Weak Frey--Mazur Conjecture.
