Mersenne Primes in Real Quadratic Fields

Sushma Palimar, Shankar B. R

Published 2012-05-02Version 1

The concept of Mersenne primes is studied in real quadratic fields of class number 1. Computational results are given. The field $Q(\sqrt{2})$ is studied in detail with a focus on representing Mersenne primes in the form $x^{2}+7y^{2}$. It is also proved that $x$ is divisible by 8 and $y\equiv \pm3\pmod{8}$ generalizing the result of F Lemmermeyer, first proved in \cite{LS} using Artin's Reciprocity law.
