Abstract. In this paper, we give a resolution of the generalized Fermat equations x 5 + y 5 = 3z n and x 13 + y 13 = 3z n , for all integers n ≥ 2, and all integers n ≥ 2 which are not a power of 7, respectively, using the modular method with Frey elliptic curves over totally real fields. The results require a refined application of the multi-Frey technique, which we show to be effective in new ways to reduce the bounds on the exponents n.We also give a number of results for the equations x 5 + y 5 = dz n , where d = 1, 2, under additional local conditions on the solutions. This includes a result which is reminiscent of the second case of Fermat's Last Theorem, and which uses a new application of level raising at p modulo p.
