On the real quadratic fields with certain continued fraction expansions and fundamental units
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the real quadratic number fields $Q(sqrt{d})$ which contain the specific form of the continued fractions expansions of integral basis element where $dequiv 2,3( mod 4)$ is a square free positive integer. Besides, the present paper deals with determining the fundamental unit$$epsilon _{d}=left(t_d+u_dsqrt{d}right) 2left.right > 1$$and $n_d$ and $m_d...
متن کاملSome Arithmetic Properties of Overpartition K -tuples
Abstract Recently, Lovejoy introduced the construct of overpartition pairs which are a natural generalization of overpartitions. Here we generalize that idea to overpartition ktuples and prove several congruences related to them. We denote the number of overpartition k-tuples of a positive integer n by pk(n) and prove, for example, that for all n ≥ 0, pt−1(tn + r) ≡ 0 (mod t) where t is prime a...
متن کاملThe Gauss Class-Number Problems
In Articles 303 and 304 of his 1801 Disquisitiones Arithmeticae [Gau86], Gauss put forward several conjectures that continue to occupy us to this day. Gauss stated his conjectures in the language of binary quadratic forms (of even discriminant only, a complication that was later dispensed with). Since Dedekind’s time, these conjectures have been phrased in the language of quadratic fields. This...
متن کاملA PARTITION IDENTITY AND THE UNIVERSAL MOCK THETA FUNCTION g2
We prove analytic and combinatorial identities reminiscent of Schur’s classical partition theorem. Specifically, we show that certain families of overpartitions whose parts satisfy gap conditions are equinumerous with partitions whose parts satisfy congruence conditions. Furthermore, if small parts are excluded, the resulting overpartitions are generated by the product of a modular form and Gor...
متن کاملComputing discrete logarithms in real quadratic congruence function fields of large genus
The discrete logarithm problem in various finite abelian groups is the basis for some well known public key cryptosystems. Recently, real quadratic congruence function fields were used to construct a public key distribution system. The security of this public key system is based on the difficulty of a discrete logarithm problem in these fields. In this paper, we present a probabilistic algorith...
