AbstractDifferent types of number theories such as elementary number theory, algebraic number theory and computational number theory; algebra; cryptology; security and also other scientific fields like artificial intelligence use applications of quadratic fields. Quadratic fields can be separated into two parts such as imaginary quadratic fields and real quadratic fields. To work or determine the structure of real quadratic fields is more difficult than the imaginary one.The Dirichlet class number formula is defined as a special case of a more general class number formula satisfying any types of number field. It includes regulator, ℒ-function, Dedekind zeta function and discriminant for the field. The Dirichlet’s class number h(d) formula in real quadratic fields claims that we have h\left(d \right).log {\varepsilon _d} = \sqrt {\Delta} {\scr L} \left({1,\;{\chi _d}}\right) for positive d > 0 and the fundamental unit ɛd of {\rm{\mathbb Q}}\left({\sqrt d} \right) . It is seen that discriminant, ℒ-function and fundamental unit ɛd are significant and necessary tools for determining the structure of real quadratic fields.The focus of this paper is to determine structure of some special real quadratic fields for d > 0 and d ≡ 2,3 (mod4). In this paper, we provide a handy technique so as to calculate particular continued fraction expansion of integral basis element wd, fundamental unit ɛd, and so on for such real quadratic number fields. In this paper, we get fascinating results in the development of real quadratic fields.

Gauss conjectured that there are infinitely many real quadratic fields with class number one. Today this is still an open problem. Moreover, as Dorian Goldfeld, one of the recipients of the 1987 Cole prize in number theory (for his work on another problem going back to Gauss) recently stated in his acceptance of the award: “This problem appears quite intractible at the moment.” However there has recently been a search for conditions which are tantamount to class number one for real quadratic fields. This may be viewed as an effort to shift the focus of the problem in order to understand more clearly the inherent difficulties, and to reveal some other beautiful interrelationships.

Abstract Given a closed geodesic on a compact arithmetic hyperbolic surface, we show the existence of a sequence of Laplacian eigenfunctions whose integrals along the geodesic exhibit nontrivial growth. Via Waldspurger’s formula we deduce a lower bound for central values of Rankin-Selberg L-functions of Maass forms times theta series associated to real quadratic fields.

Abstract We investigate the number of curves having a rational point of almost minimal height in the family of quadratic twists of a given elliptic curve. This problem takes its origin in the work of Hooley, who asked this question in the setting of real quadratic fields. In particular, he showed an asymptotic estimate for the number of such fields with almost minimal fundamental unit. Our main result establishes the analogue asymptotic formula in the setting of quadratic twists of a fixed elliptic curve.

Abstract The Zagier L-series encode data of real quadratic fields. We study the average size of these L-series, and prove asymptotic expansions and omega results for the expansion. We then show how the error term in the asymptotic expansion can be used to obtain error terms in the prime geodesic theorem.
