Abstract

We prove Fermat's Last Theorem over Q(5){\mathbb Q}(\sqrt{5}) and Q(17){\mathbb Q}(\sqrt{17}) for prime exponents p5p \ge 5 in certain congruence classes modulo 4848 by using a combination of the modular method and Brauer-Manin obstructions explicitly given by quadratic reciprocity constraints. The reciprocity constraint used to treat the case of Q(5){\mathbb Q}(\sqrt{5}) is a generalization to a real quadratic base field of the one used by Chen-Siksek. For the case of Q(17){\mathbb Q}(\sqrt{17}), this is insufficient, and we generalize a reciprocity constraint of Bennett-Chen-Dahmen-Yazdani using Hilbert symbols from the rational field to certain real quadratic fields.
