Summary: Let \(K\) be a number field, \(S\) be the set of primes of \(K\) above 2 and \(T\) the subset of primes above 2 having inertial degree 1. Suppose that \(T \neq \emptyset\), and moreover, that for every solution \((\lambda,\mu)\) to the \(S\)-unit equation \[ \lambda+\mu=1, \quad \lambda, \mu \in \mathcal{O}_S^\times, \] there is some \(\mathfrak{P} \in T\) such that \(\max\{ \nu_{\mathfrak{P}}(\lambda),\nu_{\mathfrak{P}}(\mu)\} \leq 4 \nu_{\mathfrak{P}}(2)\). Assuming two deep but standard conjectures from the Langlands programme, we prove the asymptotic Fermat's last theorem over \(K\): there is some \(B_K\) such that for all prime exponents \(p > B_K\) the only solutions to \(x^p+y^p+z^p=0\) with \(x, y, z \in K\) satisfy \(xyz=0\). We deduce that the asymptotic Fermat's last theorem holds for imaginary quadratic fields \(\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-d})\) with \(-d \equiv 2, 3 \pmod 4\) squarefree.
