Quartic points on the Fermat quintic
Published 12 Jun 2017 in math.NT | (1706.03569v1)
Abstract: In this paper, we study the algebraic points of degree $4$ over $\mathbb{Q}$ on the Fermat curve $F_5/\mathbb{Q}$ of equation $x5+y5+z5=0$. A geometrical description of these points has been given in 1997 by Klassen and Tzermias. Using their result, as well as Bruin's work about diophantine equations of signature $(5,5,2)$, we give here an algebraic description of these points. In particular, we prove there is only one Galois extension of $\mathbb{Q}$ of degree $4$ that arises as the field of definition of a non-trivial point of $F_5$.
