Abstract: Explicit solutions of the cubic Fermat equation are constructed in ring class fields Omegaf, with conductor f prime to 3, of any imaginary quadratic field K whose discriminant satisfies dKequiv1 (mod 3), in terms of the Dedekind eta-function. As K and f vary, the set of coordinates of all solutions is shown to be the exact set of periodic points of a single algebraic function and its inverse defined on natural subsets of the maximal unramified, algebraic extension extsfK3 of the 3-adic field mathbbQ3. This is used to give a dynamical proof of a class number relation of Deuring. These solutions are then used to give an unconditional proof of part of Aigner's conjecture: the cubic Fermat equation has a nontrivial solution in K=mathbbQ(sqrtd) if dKequiv1 (mod 3) and the class number h(K) is not divisible by 3. If 3midh(K), congruence conditions for the trace of specific elements of Omegaf are exhibited which imply the existence of a point of infinite order in Fer3(K).
