In the present article, we extend previous results of the author and we show that when $K$ is any quadratic imaginary field of class number one, Fermat's equation $a^p+b^p+c^p=0$ does not have integral coprime solutions $a,b,c \in K…
In this paper, we investigate solutions to the Diophantine equation $ A a^p + B b^p = C c^3 $ over number fields using the modular method. Assuming certain standard modularity conjectures, we first establish an asymptotic result for general…
In this paper we carry out the steps of Darmon's program for the generalized Fermat equation $$ x^n + y^n = z^5. $$ In particular, we develop the machinery necessary to prove an optimal bound on the exponent $n$ for solutions satisfying…
Let $a, b, c,$ and $n$ be integers, with $a$ nonzero and $n$ at least two. Necessary and sufficient conditions on these parameters are derived which guarantee that all solutions of the congruence \[ ax^2+bx+c \equiv 0\ \textrm{mod}\ n \]…
In this paper we consider the Diophantine equation \begin{align*}b^k +\left(a+b\right)^k &+ \cdots + \left(a\left(x-1\right) + b\right)^k=\\ &=d^l + \left(c+d\right)^l + \cdots + \left(c\left(y-1\right) + d\right)^l, \end{align*} where…
Following the famous proof of Fermat's Last Theorem by Andrew Wiles using the modularity of elliptic curves over $\mathbb{Q}$, significant developments have been made in the study of Diophantine equations using the modularity method. This…
A nontrivial solution of the equation A!B! = C! is a triple of positive integers (A, B, C) with A $\le$ B $\le$ C -- 2. It is conjectured that the only nontrivial solution is (6, 7, 10), and this conjecture has been checked up to C = 10 6.…

Let $K$ be a totally real field, and $r\geq 5$ a fixed rational prime. In this paper, we use the modular method as presented in the recent work of Freitas and Siksek to study non-trivial, primitive solutions $(x,y,z) \in \mathcal{O}_K^3$ of…
In this paper we consider $N$, the number of solutions $(x,y,u,v)$ to the equation $ (-1)^u r a^x + (-1)^v s b^y = c$ in nonnegative integers $x, y$ and integers $u, v \in \{0,1\}$, for given integers $a>1$, $b>1$, $c>0$, $r>0$ and $s>0$.…
We prove two results concerning the generalized Fermat equation $x^4+y^4=z^p$. In particular we prove that the First Case is true if $p \neq 7$.
Let $K$ be a totally real field. By the asymptotic Fermat's Last Theorem over $K$ we mean the statement that there is a constant $B_K$ such that for prime exponents $p>B_K$ the only solutions to the Fermat equation $a^p + b^p + c^p = 0$…
In this note we will analyze a diophantine equation raised by Michael Bennett in [1] that is pivotal in establishing that powers of five has few digits in its ternary expansion. We will show that the Diophantine equation…
In a recent paper, we proved that for any large enough odd modulus $q\in \mathbb{N}$ and fixed $\alpha_2\in \mathbb{N}$ coprime to $q$, the congruence \[ x_1^2+\alpha_2x_2^2+\alpha_3x_3^2\equiv 0 \bmod{q} \] has a solution of…
We classify all solution triples with Fibonacci components to the equation $a^2+b^2+c^2=3abc+m,$ for positive $m$. We show that for $m=2$ they are precisely $(1,F(b),F(b+2))$, with even $b$; for $m=21$, there exist exactly two Fibonacci…
The equation $f^n+g^n=1$, $n\in\mathbb{N}$ can be regarded as the Fermat Diophantine equation over the function field. In this paper we study the characterization of entire solutions of some system of Fermat type functional equations by…
Fermat's statement is equivalent to say that if $x$, $y$, $z$, $n$ are integers and $n>2$, then $z^{n}\gtrless x^{n}+y^{n}$. This is proved with the aid of numbers $\lambda $'s, of the form $\lambda =z/\rho $, with $1<\rho<z$, named…
Let $A$ be a sufficiently dense subset of a finite field $\mathbb F_q$ or a finite, cyclic ring $\mathbb Z/ N\mathbb Z$. Assuming that $q$ and $N$ have no small prime divisors, we show that generalised Fermat equations have the expected…
