Jang–Kim's maximal norm conjecture for indecomposable integers

From papers

Let DD be a positive nonsquare integer, let Z[D]\mathbb Z[\sqrt D] be the quadratic order, and let NN be the minimum of the absolute values of negative norms of elements of Z[D]\mathbb Z[\sqrt D]. Let aa be the smallest nonnegative rational integer such that NN divides Da2D-a^2. An element of Z[D]\mathbb Z[\sqrt D] is indecomposable if it cannot be written as a sum of two totally positive elements. Jang–Kim's conjecture. For every indecomposable αZ[D]\alpha\in\mathbb Z[\sqrt D], one has

N(α)Da2N.N(\alpha)\leq \frac{D-a^2}{N}.

The conjecture proposed an improvement of the general bound N(α)D/NN(\alpha)\leq D/N for indecomposable integers. It is false in the quadratic field considered in the paper, so the proposed bound does not hold in general.
