Abstract:

We solve the Diophantine equations $x^5 + y^5 = dz^p$ with $d=2, 3$ for a set of prime numbers of density $3/4$. The method consists of relating a possible solution to another Diophantine equation and solving the latter via a generalized modular technique. Indeed, we will apply a multi-Frey technique with two $\mathbb {Q}$-curves along with a new technique for eliminating newforms.
