Abstract

Let $p$ be a prime and let $ℚ_{n, p}$ denote the $n$ -th layer of the cyclotomic $ℤ_{p}$ -extension of $ℚ$ . We prove the effective asymptotic FLT over $ℚ_{n, p}$ for all $n \geq 1$ and all primes $p \geq 5$ that are non-Wieferich, i.e., $2^{p - 1} ≢ 1 (mod p^{2})$ . The effectivity in our result builds on recent work of Thorne proving modularity of elliptic curves over $ℚ_{n, p}$ .
