Abstract

We provide the necessary conditions for the existence of solutions (x,y,z)(x,y,z) to Axp+Byp+Czp=0Ax^p+By^p+Cz^p=0 over any quadratic number field KK with A,B,CA,B,C pth powerfree integer numbers. We determine when xx, yy and zz are rational numbers for pairwise coprime integers AA, BB and CC. Moreover, we prove that xx, yy and zz are in KQK\setminus\mathbb{Q} when BC=±1BC=\pm 1 and A±2A\neq \pm 2. Finally, we prove that no solutions (x,y,z)(x,y,z) to Axp+Byp+Czp=0Ax^p+By^p+Cz^p=0 exist in KQK\setminus\mathbb{Q} when BC±1BC\neq \pm 1.
