Abstract
Let be a real quadratic field. We consider the additive semigroup of totally positive integers in and determine its generators (indecomposable integers) and relations; they can be nicely described in terms of the periodic continued fraction for . We also characterize all uniquely decomposable integers in and estimate their norms. Using these results, we prove that the semigroup completely determines the real quadratic field .
