Conjecture on class numbers in the family Q(sqrt(p^{2r}+1))

About 2 years old · traced to

Fix a prime p>2p>2, and for each r∈Z+r\in\mathbb{Z}^+ consider the real quadratic field

Kr=Q(p2r+1).K_r=\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{p^{2r}+1}).

Class-number infinitude conjecture. There are infinitely many r∈Z+r\in\mathbb{Z}^+ such that pp does not divide the class number of KrK_r.

The conjecture is motivated by computational data and would imply an infinite family of fields in which the paper establishes Greenberg's conjecture under its non-Wieferich hypothesis.
