The asymptotic Fermat conjecture over number fields
Let be a number field. A solution of the Fermat equation
is trivial if and non-trivial otherwise. The asymptotic Fermat conjecture. If , then there exists a constant , depending only on , such that for every prime , all solutions in are trivial. This conjecture predicts that, over number fields not containing a primitive third root of unity, non-trivial Fermat solutions occur only for bounded prime exponents; it is known for various classes of fields but remains open in general.
