Abstract

In this article we study solutions to the generalized Fermat equation xq+yp+zr=0x^q+y^p+z^r=0 using hypergeometric motives within the framework of the modular method. In doing so, we give an explicit description of the ramification behavior at primes dividing 2qr2qr and analyze the contribution of trivial solutions. We identify a general obstruction to the modular method that accounts for its failure in many instances. As an application, assuming a standard large image conjecture, we prove that the previous equation admits no nontrivial primitive solutions (a,b,c)(a,b,c) with 3c3 \nmid c, when q=5,q=5, r=3r=3 and pp is a prime sufficiently large.
