Abstract: Explicit solutions of the cubic Fermat equation are constructed in ring class fields $Omeg{a}_f$, with conductor $f$ prime to $3$, of any imaginary quadratic field $K$ whose discriminant satisfies $d_{K}equiv1$ (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 $extsf{K}_3$ of the $3$-adic field $mathbb{Q}_3$. 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 $K=mathbbQ(sqrt-d)$ if $d_{K}equiv1$ (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 $Omeg{a}_f$ are exhibited which imply the existence of a point of infinite order in $Fe{r}_3(K)$.
