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…

Let $K$ be a totally real number field and $ \mathcal{O}_K$ be the ring of integers of $K$. This manuscript examines the asymptotic solutions of the Fermat equation of signature $(r, r, p)$, specifically $x^r+y^r=dz^p$ over $K$, where $r,p…

In this paper, we develop the modular method for the generalized Fermat equation appearing in the title, within the framework of Darmon's program and using Frey hyperelliptic curves. As an application, we study a conjecture of Laradji,…

A elementary proof of Fermat"s Last Theorem[1] is presented for the case of even exponents n=2q, where q is any integer, including 2. For even exponents, the proof of the theorem reduces to showing that solutions of the Pythagorean equation…

We prove an asymptotic formula for class numbers of totlally imaginary quartic number fields, ie for number fields of degree 4 over Q with only complex embeddings. After previous work for real quadratic fields (Sarnak) and complex cubic…

From some works of P. Furtw\"angler and H.S. Vandiver, we put the basis of a new cyclotomic approach to Fermat's last theorem for p>3 and to a stronger version called SFLT, by introducing governing fields of the form Q(exp(2 i pi/q-1)) for…

We propose a new approach at Fermat's Last Theorem (FLT) solution: for each FLT equation we associate a polynomial of the same degree. The study of the roots of the polynomial allows us to investigate the FLT validity. This technique,…

We prove Fermat's Last Theorem over ${\mathbb Q}(\sqrt{5})$ and ${\mathbb Q}(\sqrt{17})$ for prime exponents $p \ge 5$ in certain congruence classes modulo $48$ by using a combination of the modular method and Brauer-Manin obstructions…

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.…

The first case of Fermat's Last Theorem for a prime exponent $p$ can sometimes be proved using the existence of local obstructions. In 1823, Sophie Germain has obtained an important result in this direction by establishing that, if $2p+1$…

`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…

Wiles' proof of Fermat's last theorem initiated a powerful new approach towards the resolution of certain Diophantine equations over $\mathbb{Q}$. Numerous novel obstacles arise when extending this approach to the resolution of Diophantine…

It is shown that the sum of class numbers of orders in totally complex quartic fields with no real quadratic subfield obeys an asymptotic law similar to the prime numbers, as the bound on the regulators tends to infinity. Here only orders…

In this essay, we see how prime cyclotomic fields (cyclotomic fields obtained by adjoining a primitive p-th root of unity to Q, where p is an odd prime) can lead to elegant proofs of number theoretical concepts. We namely develop the notion…
