`Fermat's Last Theorem for the exponent 3 has received numerous proofs, the most common of which being either in Euler's or in Gauss' style. This latter works entirely in the ring of integers of the quadratic field generated by the square…

In a recent paper, Freitas and Siksek proved an asypmtotic version of Fermat's Last Theorem for many totally real fields. We prove an extension of their result to generalized Fermat equations of the form $A x^p+B y^p+ C z^p=0$, where $A$,…

Let $K$ be a totally real number field of odd degree. Let $l \geq 5$ be a prime with $l \nmid [K:\mathbb{Q}]$ and $\gcd(\frac{l-1}{2}, [K:\mathbb{Q}])=1$. We prove that if $2$ is inert in $K$, $l$ is non-Wieferich, i.e., $2^{l-1} \not\equiv…

In this paper we study the Fermat equation $x^n+y^n=z^n$ over quadratic fields $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{d})$ for squarefree $d$ with $26 \leq d \leq 97$. By studying quadratic points on the modular curves $X_0(N)$, $d$-regular primes, and working…

In the present paper we study, in a mathematically non-formal way, the validity of the Fermat's Last Theorem (FLT) by generalizing the usual procedure of extracting the square root of non convenient objects initially introduced by P. A. M.…

Let $p \ge 5$ be a prime and let $\mathbb{Q}_{n,p}$ denote the $n$-th layer of the cyclotomic $\mathbb{Z}_p$-extension of $\mathbb{Q}$. We show that $\mathbb{Q}_{n,p}$ has no exceptional units. We use this to prove the effective asymptotic…

We prove that, for any $\varepsilon>0$, the number of real quadratic fields $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{d})$ of discriminant $d<x$ whose class number is $\ll \sqrt{d}(\log{d})^{-2}(\log\log{d})^{-1}$ is at least $x^{1/2-\varepsilon}$ for $x$ large…

One shows that the Last Fermat Theorem is equivalent to the statement that all rational solutions of the famous equation are provided by an orbit of rationally parametrized subgroup of a group preserving k-ubic form. This very group…

In this paper two conjectures are proposed based on which we can prove the first case of Fermat's Last Theorem(FLT) for all primes $p \equiv -1 (\bmod~6)$. With Pollaczek's result {\bf [1]} and the conjectures the first case of FLT can be…

This article deals with a conjecture generalizing the second case of Fermat's Last Theorem, called $SFLT2$ conjecture: {\it Let $p>3$ be a prime, $K:=\Q(\zeta)$ the $p$th cyclotomic field and $\Z_K$ its ring of integers. The diophantine…

In this paper, we prove a result on the $2$-adic logarithm of the fundamental unit of the field $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt[4]{-q}) $, where $q\equiv 3\bmod 4$ is a prime. When $q\equiv 15\bmod 16$, this result confirms a speculation of Coates-Li and…
