We use the theory of continued fractions in conjunction with ideal theory (often called the infrastructure) in real quadratic fields to give new class number 2 criteria and link this to a canonical norm-induced quadratic polynomial. By doing so, this provides a real quadratic field analogue of the well-known result by Hendy (1974) for complex quadratic fields. We illustrate with several examples.

AbstractIn this paper we consider the relationship between real quadratic fields, their class numbers and the continued fraction expansion of related ideals, as well as the prime-producing capacity of certain canonical quadratic polynomials. This continues and extends work in [10]–[31] and is related to work in [3]–[4].

Thanks to K. Heegner [He], A. Baker [Ba] and H. Stark [S], we know that there are nine imaginary quadratic fields of class number one. Gauss conjectured that there are infinitely many real quadratic fields of class number one, but the conjecture is still open.
