Sur le th\'eor\`eme de Fermat sur ${\bf Q}(\sqrt{5})$

Abstract

Let $p$ be an odd prime number. Using modular arguments, we give an easy testable condition which allows often to prove Fermat's Last Theorem over the quadratic field ${\bf Q}(\sqrt{5})$ for the exponent $p$. It is related to the Wendt's resultant of the polynomials $X^n-1$ and $(X+1)^n-1$. We deduce Fermat's Last Theorem over this field in case one has $5\leq p<10^7$, and we obtain analogous results on Sophie Germain type criteria.
