Stevenhagen's negative Pell equation density conjecture
Stevenhagen's negative Pell equation density conjecture
Let range over fundamental positive discriminants without prime factors congruent to modulo . Define
Stevenhagen's conjecture. The density of those for which the negative Pell equation
has a solution is . This conjecture predicts the proportion of such discriminants for which the associated negative Pell equation is solvable; its stated density is a central quantitative result in the arithmetic of quadratic fields and has been resolved.
