Let k be a real quadratic field and k, E the ring of integers and the group of units in k. Denoting by E() the subgroup represented by E of (k/)× for a prime ideal , we show that prime ideals for which the order of E() is theoretically maximal have a positive density under the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis.
