A Simple Proof of Siegel's Theorem

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

A brief and simple proof of Siegel's celebrated theorem that h(d) » d1/2-[unk], as d → ∞, is given. Here h(d) denotes the class number of the quadratic field Q([unk]-d). Simple proofs that do not make use of algebraic number theory have been previously given by Estermann and Chowla.
