| norm of fundamental unit |
I apologize if my question is not directly related to PARI. It is about quadratic fields Q(sqrt(d)) where d is a positive non-square integer. I wonder how to classify such d that there exists an element of norm -1, while the norm of fundamental unit (computed by PARI) is 1? An example is given by d=34: ? bnfinit(x^2-34).fu[1] %1 = Mod(6*x + 35, x^2 - 34) ? norm(%) %2 = 1 ? norm(Mod(1/5*x-3/5,x^2 - 34)) %3 = -1 Thanks, Max
