Let [Formula: see text] be the [Formula: see text]-rational point on the Fermat curve [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text]. It has recently been proved that if [Formula: see text] then each [Formula: see text] is a cube in [Formula: see text]. It is natural to wonder whether there is a generalization to [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we show that the result cannot be extended to [Formula: see text] in general and conjecture that each [Formula: see text] is a cube in [Formula: see text] if and only if [Formula: see text].
