Abstract: In this paper, we give a resolution of the generalized Fermat equations x^5 + y^5 = 3 z^n ext{ and } x^{13} + y^{13} = 3 z^n, for all integers nge2, and all integers nge2 which are not a multiple 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 x5+y5=dzn, 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.
