A positive density of fundamental discriminants with large regulator

Étienne Fouvry and Florent Jouve

Vol. 262 (2013), No. 1, 81–107
Abstract

We prove that there is a positive density of positive fundamental discriminants D such that the fundamental unit 𝜀(D) of the ring of integers of the field (√D--) is essentially greater than D3.

Keywords
regulator of a real quadratic field, Pell equation
