We give a cyclotomic proof of the fact that the equation $\frac{x^p + y^p}{x+y} = p^e z^q$ has no solutions in coprime integers $x,y,z$ and $p > 3; q$, a pair of distinct odd primes.

We show that the Fermat equation $x^p + y^p = z^p$ has no solutions in coprime positive integers $x, y, z$ for any odd prime $p$.

This note proves two theorems regarding Fermat-type equation $x^r + y^r = dz^p$ where $r \geq 5$ is a prime. Our main result shows that, for infinitely many integers~$d$, the previous equation has no non-trivial primitive solutions such…

We prove that the Fermat-type equation $x^3 + y^3 = z^p$ has no solutions $(a,b,c)$ satisfying $abc \ne 0$ and $\gcd(a,b,c)=1$ when $-3$ is not a square mod~$p$. This improves to approximately $0.844$ the Dirichlet density of the set of…

We give a method to solve generalized Fermat equations of type $x^4 + y^4 = q z^p$, for some prime values of $q$ and every prime $p$ bigger than 13. We illustrate the method by proving that there are no solutions for $q= 73, 89$ and 113.

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…

Within the scope of elementary number theory, we prove that, as the main result, if $1 \leq x < y < z$ are integers such that at least one of $y, z, x+y$ is prime then $x^{n}+y^{n} \neq z^{n}$ for every odd integer $n \geq 3$. This result…

Assuming a deep but standard conjecture in the Langlands programme, we prove Fermat's Last Theorem over $\mathbb Q(i)$. Under the same assumption, we also prove that, for all prime exponents $p \geq 5$, Fermat's equation $a^p+b^p+c^p=0$…

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 $A$,…

This article deals with a conjecture, introduced in [GQ] (hereinafter $SFLT2$), which generalizes the second case of Fermat's Last Theorem: {\it Let $p>3$ be a prime. The diophantine equation $\frac{u^p+v^p}{u+v}=w_1^p$ with $u,v,u+v,…

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…

The main result of the present article is a proof of Fermat's Last Theorem for sufficiently large prime exponents $p$ with $p \equiv 2 \pmod{3}$ over certain number fields. A particular case of these fields are the maximal real subfields of…

Using modularity, level lowering, and explicit computations with Hilbert modular forms, Galois representations and ray class groups, we show that for $3 \le d \le 23$ squarefree, $d \ne 5$, $17$, the Fermat equation $x^n+y^n=z^n$ has no…

We discuss the equation $a^p + 2^\a b^p + c^p =0$ in which $a$, $b$, and $c$ are non-zero relatively prime integers, $p$ is an odd prime number, and $\a$ is a positive integer. The technique used to prove Fermat's Last Theorem shows that…

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…

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…

We give some new, simple results on the equation X^p + Y^p = Z^q.
