Let $K=\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{d})$ be a real quadratic fields. S. Chowla conjectured that if $d=4m^2+1$ for $m \in \mathbb{Z}$ then there is exactly 6 real quadratic fields which has class number one. Hideo Yokoi proved this conjecture (almost!). Then the natural question arises: What can be said about similar real quadratic fields $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{a^2m^2+1})$ for $a \not = 2$ and $m$ a integers? I am looking for suitable reference for this question? Can someone suggest reference for this question?

    $\begingroup$ Not only $a \ne 2$, but $a = 1$. And he probably googled "New York mining desaster" instead of "Chowla real quadratic". $\endgroup$ Commented Jul 13, 2016 at 4:33

The conjectures of Chowla and Yokoi were proved by Biró (2003). The state-of-the-art of this problem is contained in the following preprint by Biró and Lapkova (2015).
