The Ankeny–Artin–Chowla conjecture for real quadratic fields

About 2 years old · traced to

Let d∈N≥2d\in\mathbb{N}_{\geq 2} be squarefree, let K=Q(d)K=\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{d}), and let OK=Z[ω]\mathcal{O}_K=\mathbb{Z}[\omega] be the ring of integers of KK, where

ω={dif d≡2,3mod  4,frac1+d2if d≡1mod  4.\omega=\begin{cases}\sqrt{d}&\text{if }d\equiv 2,3\mod 4,\\frac{1+\sqrt{d}}{2}&\text{if }d\equiv 1\mod 4.\end{cases}

Let ε=x+yω\varepsilon=x+y\omega be the fundamental unit of OK\mathcal{O}_K with ε>1\varepsilon>1, where x,y∈N0x,y\in\mathbb{N}_0. Ankeny–Artin–Chowla conjecture. If d∈Pd\in\mathbb{P} and d≡1mod  4d\equiv 1\mod 4, then d∤yd\nmid y. This conjecture has been verified for all such primes through at least 1.5⋅10121.5\cdot 10^{12}, but the general assertion remains open.
