In number theory, the Ankeny–Artin–Chowla congruence is a result published in 1953 by N. C. Ankeny, Emil Artin and S. Chowla. It concerns the class number ''h'' of a real quadratic field of discriminant ''d'' > 0. If the fundamental unit of the field is : with integers ''t'' and ''u'', it expresses in another form : for any prime number ''p'' > 2 that divides ''d''. In case ''p'' > 3 it states that : where and is the Dirichlet character for the quadratic field. For ''p'' = 3 there is a factor (1 + ''m'') multiplying the LHS. Here : represents the floor function of ''x''. A related result is that if ''d=p'' is congruent to one mod four, then : where ''B''''n'' is the ''n''th Bernoulli number. There are some generalisations of these basic results, in the papers of the authors. ==References== * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ankeny–Artin–Chowla congruence」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
