Abstract

AbstractSeveral classes of Fermat-type diophantine equations have been successfully resolved using the method of galois representations and modularity. In each case, it is possible to view the proper solutions to the diophantine equation in question as corresponding to suitably defined integral points on a modular curve of level divisible by 2 or 3. Motivated by this point of view, an example of a diophantine equation associated to the modular curve X0(5) is discussed in this paper. The diophantine equation has four terms rather than the usual three terms characteristic of generalized Fermat equations.
