Abstract
Let be an odd prime and be an indeterminate. Recently, Z.-W. Sun proposed the following conjecture: where and are rational numbers related to the fundamental unit and class number of the real quadratic field . In this paper, we confirm the above conjecture of Sun based on Vsemirnov's decomposition of Chapman's "evil determinant".
