The Ankeny–Artin–Chowla conjecture for real quadratic fields

From papers

Let dN2d\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 d2,3mod4,1+d2if d1mod4.\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,yN0x,y\in\mathbb{N}_0. Ankeny–Artin–Chowla conjecture. If dPd\in\mathbb{P} and d1mod4d\equiv 1\mod 4, then dyd\nmid y. This conjecture has been verified for all such primes through at least 1.510121.5\cdot 10^{12}, but the general assertion remains open.
