Although class number one problem for imaginary quadratic fields was solved in 1966 by A. Baker [3] and by H. M. Stark [25] independently, the problem for real quadratic fields remains still unsettled. However, since papers by Ankeny–Chowla–Hasse [2] and H. Hasse [9], many papers concerning this problem or giving estimate for class numbers of real quadratic fields from below have appeared. There are three methods used there, namely the first is related with quadratic diophantine equations ([2], [9], [27, 28, 29, 31], [17]), and the second is related with continued fraction expantions ([8], [4], [16], [14], [18]).

AbstractWe construct a random model to study the distribution of class numbers in special families of real quadratic fields ${\open Q}(\sqrt d )$ arising from continued fractions. These families are obtained by considering continued fraction expansions of the form $\sqrt {D(n)} = [f(n),\overline {u_1,u_2, \ldots ,u_{s-1} ,2f(n)]} $ with fixed coefficients u1, …, us−1 and generalize well-known families such as Chowla's 4n2 + 1, for which analogous results were recently proved by Dahl and Lamzouri [‘The distribution of class numbers in a special family of real quadratic fields’, Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. (2018), 6331–6356].

Let d be a positive integer which is not a perfect square and n be any nonzero fixed integer. Then, the equation x 2 − d y 2 = n is known as the general Pell equation. In this paper, we give some criteria for class numbers of certain real quadratic fields to be greater than one, depending on the solvability of the general Pell equation, ideals in quadratic orders, and the period length of the simple continued fraction expansions of d .

We investigate the efficiency of several types of continued fraction expansions of a number in the unit interval using a generalization of Lochs theorem from 1964. Thus, we aim to compare the efficiency by describing the rate at which the digits of one number-theoretic expansion determine those of another. We study Chan’s continued fractions, θ-expansions, N-continued fractions, and Rényi-type continued fractions. A central role in fulfilling our goal is played by the entropy of the absolutely continuous invariant probability measures of the associated dynamical systems.

Abstract We develop methods for constructing explicit generators, modulo torsion, of the $K_3$ -groups of imaginary quadratic number fields. These methods are based on either tessellations of hyperbolic $3$ -space or on direct calculations in suitable pre-Bloch groups and lead to the very first proven examples of explicit generators, modulo torsion, of any infinite $K_3$ -group of a number field. As part of this approach, we make several improvements to the theory of Bloch groups for $ K_3 $ of any field, predict the precise power of $2$ that should occur in the Lichtenbaum conjecture at $ -1 $ and prove that this prediction is valid for all abelian number fields.
