Iizuka's successive quadratic fields conjecture

Let pp be a prime number and let mm be a positive integer. For an integer dd, consider the m+1m+1 successive quadratic fields

Q(d),Q(d+1),,Q(d+m).\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{d}),\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{d+1}),\cdots,\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{d+m}).

Here, “real (or imaginary) quadratic” means that the corresponding squarefree radicands give real (or imaginary) quadratic fields, and the class number is the cardinality of the ideal class group. Iizuka's conjecture. For any prime number pp and any positive integer mm, there is an infinite family of m+1m+1 successive real (or imaginary) quadratic fields of this form, with dZd\in\mathbb{Z}, whose class numbers are all divisible by pp. Iizuka formulated this as a generalization of the existence results for pairs of successive imaginary quadratic fields; the conjecture asks for arbitrarily long successive tuples and is not stated as resolved in the source.
