Abstract
Let be a totally real number field and be the ring of integers of . In this article, we study the asymptotic solutions of the generalized Fermat equation over with prime exponent , where with is even. For certain class of fields , we prove that the equation has no asymptotic solution with . Then, under some assumptions on , we also prove that has no asymptotic solution in . Finally, we give several purely local criteria of such that has no asymptotic solutions in , and calculate the density of such fields when is a real quadratic field.
