Abstract
All the periodic points of a certain algebraic function related to the Rogers-Ramanujan continued fraction are determined. They turn out to be , and the conjugates over of the values , where is one of a specific set of algebraic integers, divisible by the square of a prime divisor of 5, in the field , as ranges over all negative quadratic discriminants for which . This yields new insights on class numbers of orders in the fields . Conjecture 1 of Part I is proved for the prime , showing that the ring class fields over fields of type whose conductors are relatively prime to coincide with the fields generated over by the periodic points (excluding -1) of a fixed -adic algebraic function.
