In 1951, Ankeny, Artin, and Chowla published a brief note containing four congruence relations involving the class number of $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{d})$ for positive squarefree integers $d\equiv 1 \bmod{4}$. Many of the ideas present in their…

Let $p$ be a prime number with $p\equiv 1\mod 4$, let $\omega=\frac{1+\sqrt{p}}{2}$, let $\varepsilon>1$ be the fundamental unit of $\mathbb{Z}[\omega]$ and let $x$ and $y$ be the unique nonnegative integers with $\varepsilon=x+y\omega$.…

For a prime $p\equiv 1 \,(\bmod{4})$, let \[ \varepsilon = \frac{1}{2}\left( t + u\sqrt{p}\right) \] be the fundamental unit of the real quadratic field $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{p})$. In 1951, N. Ankeny, E. Artin, and S. Chowla asked whether $p$…

By analyzing the coefficients of the power series defining the Kubota--Leopoldt $p$-adic $L$-function associated to the non-trivial character of a real quadratic field, we prove a congruence of Ankeny--Artin--Chowla-type for prime power…

From some works of P. Furtw\"angler and H.S. Vandiver, we put the basis of a new cyclotomic approach to Fermat's last theorem for p>3 and to a stronger version called SFLT, by introducing governing fields of the form Q(exp(2 i pi/q-1)) for…

We consider an analogue of Artin's primitive root conjecture for units in real quadratic fields. Given such a nontrivial unit, for a rational prime p which is inert in the field the maximal order of the unit modulo p is p+1. An extension of…

We confirm several conjectures of Sun involving quadratic residues modulo odd primes. For any prime $p\equiv 1\pmod 4$ and integer $a\not\equiv0\pmod p$, we prove that \begin{align*}&(-1)^{|\{1\le k<\frac p4:\ (\frac kp)=-1\}|}\prod_{1\le…

In this paper, we prove a result on the $2$-adic logarithm of the fundamental unit of the field $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt[4]{-q}) $, where $q\equiv 3\bmod 4$ is a prime. When $q\equiv 15\bmod 16$, this result confirms a speculation of Coates-Li and…

In this article, we consider the order $\mathcal{O}_{f}={x+yf\sqrt{d}:x,\ y \in \Z}$ with conductor $f\in\N$ in a real quadratic field $K=\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{d})$ where $d>0$ is square-free and $d\equiv2,3\pmod 4$. We obtain numerical…

For a prime $p$ and an integer $u$ with $\gcd(u,p)=1$, we define Fermat quotients by the conditions $$ q_p(u) \equiv \frac{u^{p-1} -1}{p} \pmod p, \qquad 0 \le q_p(u) \le p-1. $$ D. R. Heath-Brown has given a bound of exponential sums with…

Let $p>3$ be a prime, and let $q_p(2)=(2^{p-1}-1)/p$ be the Fermat quotient of $p$ to base 2. Recently, Z. H. Sun proved that \sum_{k=1}^{p-1}\frac{1}{k\cdot 2^k}\equiv q_p(2)-\frac{p}{2}q_p(2)^2 \pmod{p^2} which is a generalization of a…

We improve an estimate of A.Granville (1987) on the number of vanishing Fermat quotients $q_p(\ell)$ modulo a prime $p$ when $\ell$ runs through primes $\ell \le N$. We use this bound to obtain an unconditional improvement of the…

Assuming two deep but standard conjectures from the Langlands Programme, we prove that the asymptotic Fermat's Last Theorem holds for imaginary quadratic fields Q(\sqrt{-d}) with -d=2, 3 mod 4. For a general number field K, again assuming…

We consider the integers $\alpha$ of the quadratic field $ \mathbb{Q} (\sqrt{d}$ $)$ where $d\in \Z$ is square-free and $d\equiv 1,2,3 \pmod 4$. Let $p$ be an odd prime. Using the embedding into $ \text{GL}(2,\mathbb{Z})$ we obtain bounds…

Let $p$ be a prime. The $2$-primary part of the class group of the pure quartic field $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt[4]{p})$ has been determined by Parry and Lemmermeyer when $p \not\equiv \pm 1\bmod 16$. In this paper, we improve the known results in…

This paper is continuation of the paper "Primitive roots in quadratic field". We consider an analogue of Artin's primitive root conjecture for algebraic numbers which is not a unit in real quadratic fields. Given such an algebraic number,…

Assuming a deep but standard conjecture in the Langlands programme, we prove Fermat's Last Theorem over $\mathbb Q(i)$. Under the same assumption, we also prove that, for all prime exponents $p \geq 5$, Fermat's equation $a^p+b^p+c^p=0$…

Let $p$ be a prime number such that $p=2$ or $p\equiv 1\pmod 4$. Let $\varepsilon_p$ denote the fundamental unit of $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{p})$ and let $a$ be a positive square-free integer. The main aim of this paper is to determine explicitly…

E. Artin conjectured that any integer $a >1$ which is not a perfect square is a primitive root modulo $p$ for infinitely many primes $p.$ Let $f_a(p)$ be the multiplicative order of the non-square integer $a$ modulo the prime $p.$ M. R.…

Let $p$ be a prime number such that $p=2$ or $p\equiv 1\pmod 4$. Let $\varepsilon_p$ denote the fundamental unit of $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{p})$ and let $a$ be a positive square-free integer. In the present paper, we construct the Hilbert genus…
