Fermat's Last Theorem and modular curves over real quadratic fields

Number Theory 2022-10-18 v7

Abstract

In this paper we study the Fermat equation xn+yn=znx^n+y^n=z^n over quadratic fields Q(d)\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{d}) for squarefree dd with 26d9726 \leq d \leq 97. By studying quadratic points on the modular curves X0(N)X_0(N), dd-regular primes, and working with Hecke operators on spaces of Hilbert newforms, we extend work of Freitas and Siksek to show that for most squarefree dd in this range there are no non-trivial solutions to this equation for n4n \geq 4.
