Abstract

Iizuka's conjecture predicts that, given mNm \in \mathbb{N} and a prime pp, there exists infinitely many integers nn such that the class numbers of \textit{all} of the following quadratic number fields, Q(n), Q(n+1), , Q(n+m), \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{n}),\ \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{n+1}),\ \ldots,\ \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{n+m}), are divisible by pp. In this article, given kk and mm, we study the proportion of nn such that the class numbers of \textit{none} of the successive fields Q(n), Q(n+1), , Q(n+m), \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{n}),\ \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{n+1}),\ \ldots,\ \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{n+m}), are divisible by 3k 3^k . Moreover, we study the proportion of imaginary biquadratic fields whose class numbers are not divisible by 33.
