Gauss's class-number conjecture for imaginary quadratic fields

About 2 years old · traced to

For an imaginary quadratic field KK, let DKD_K and h(K)h(K) denote its discriminant and class number, respectively. Gauss's class-number conjecture. Then

h(K)→∞whenDK→∞.h(K)\rightarrow\infty \quad\text{when}\quad D_K\rightarrow\infty.

This conjecture asserts that the class numbers of imaginary quadratic fields are unbounded as the absolute value of the discriminant grows. It was proved by Hecke, Deuring, Mordell and Heilbronn.
