It is the purpose of this paper to give a survey of the relationship between the class number one problem for real quadratic fields and prime-producing quadratic polynomials; culminating in an overview of the recent solution to the class number one problem for real quadratic fields of Richaud-Degert type. We conclude with new conjectures, questions and directions.

AbstractOver a decade ago, this author produced class number one criteria for real quadratic fields in terms of prime-producing quadratic polynomials. The purpose of this article is to revisit the problem from a new perspective with new criteria.We look at the more general situation involving arbitrary real quadratic orders rather than the more restrictive field case, and use the interplay between the various orders to provide not only more general results, but also simpler proofs.

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.
