The study of reduction theory for quadratic forms has its origin in "Disquisitiones Arithmeticae" by Gauss. It can be also regarded as that for quadratic irrational numbers. In particular, for real quadratic numbers, it is closely related to continued fraction expantion (CFE) of those numbers. In this talk, we discuss on a variant of CFE of real numbers --- round-version of continued fraction expantion (r-CFE) ---, where we take the integer part of a real number by rounding off. We want to investigate the condition that the r-CFE of a real quadratic number is purely periodic, which seems to be related to the golden ratio. This is an on-going research joint with Kyosuke Wakaiki (Sophia University). (60 min.)
(After the talk, I obtained an advice on the terminology that "rounded-version" seems better than "round-version".)
