Abstract

It has been conjectured that, if p ≡ 1 (mod 4) is prime, and if d < 0 is a square-free discriminant with then

Where belongs to the field is the fundamental unit of Q(√k), depending on whether there are an even number or an odd number of classes per genus in Q(√d), and Ω is the genus field of Q(√d). Here the summation being over a complete set of inequivalent forms in the genus G, and

In this paper it will be shown that this conjecture is true when d is the product of two odd discriminants. An example when d is the product of three prime discriminants is discussed.
