Abstract
The primary aim of this paper is to study the generalized Fermat equation in coprime integers , , and , where and is a fixed prime. Using modularity results over totally real fields and the explicit computation of Hilbert cuspidal eigenforms, we provide a complete resolution of this equation in the case , and obtain an asymptotic result for fixed . Additionally, using similar techniques, we solve a second equation, namely , for primes .
