Abstract
Using a recent breakthrough of Smith [18], we improve the results of Fouvry and Klüners [4, 5] on the solubility of the negative Pell equation. Let D denote the set of positive squarefree integers having no prime factors congruent to 3 modulo 4 . Stevenhagen [19] conjectured that the density of d in D such that the negative Pell equation x2−dy2=−1 is solvable with x,y∈Z is 58.1% , to the nearest tenth of a percent. By studying the distribution of the 8 -rank of narrow class groups Cl+(d) of Q(√d) , we prove that the infimum of this density is at least 53.8% .
