The class-number distribution conjecture for prime-generated real quadratic fields
The class-number distribution conjecture for prime-generated real quadratic fields
Let ) be the -th prime, let , and define
Assume these probabilities exist for all positive odd integers . Write and , so that . The class-number distribution conjecture. For every odd prime ,
and if , then
The conjecture predicts the relative frequencies of every positive odd class number in this family. The paper states that it implies that more than of these fields have class number one, and hence implies Gauss's real quadratic class-number conjecture; it also notes that the claim is far from proved and that numerical convergence is slow.
