On quadratic irrationals with bounded partial quotients (Q1652914)

In the paper under review, the author proves the following result, related to McMullen's conjecture on irrationals with bounded partial quotients in quadratic number fields. This is the main result in the paper. Theorem. For \( \alpha_0< \alpha < c \), there are at least \( \displaystyle{(1-o(1))\frac{4\alpha^2}{\pi^2}\sqrt{x}(\log x)^2} \) positive non-square integers \( D<x \) for which \( \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{D}) \) contains an irrational which partial coefficients are bounded by \( A \) and such that moreover the fundamental solution \( \varepsilon_{D} \) to the Pell equation \( t^2-Du^2=1 \) is bounded by \( x^{\frac{1}{2}+\alpha} \). Here \( A,c>0 \) are explicit constants, and \( \alpha_0>0 \) arbitrarily small and fixed. The author clearly explains in the paper the emphasis on the explicitness of these constants. The above theorem certainly holds for \( \alpha< \frac{1}{200} \).
