Assume a polynomial-time algorithm for factoring integers, Conjecture~\ref{conj}, $d\geq 3,$ and $q$ and $p$ are prime numbers, where $p\leq q^A$ for some $A>0$. We develop a polynomial-time algorithm in $\log(q)$ that lifts every…

Recent results of Freitas, Kraus, Sengun and Siksek, give sufficient criteria for the asymptotic Fermat's Last Theorem to hold over a specific number field. Those works in turn build on many deep theorems in arithmetic geometry. In this…

Let $p\geq 3$ be a prime number. A Fermat curve over $\mathbb{Q}$ of exponent $p$ is defined by an equation of the shape $ax^p+by^p+cz^p=0$, where $a,b,c$ are non-zero rational numbers. We prove in this article that there exist infinitely…
