Title: Reflections on the congruence relations of Ankeny, Artin, and Chowla

Abstract: In 1951, Ankeny, Artin, and Chowla released a short note containing four congruence relations involving the arithmetic invariants of \Q(\sqrt{d}) for d\equiv 1 \bmod{4}. The following year, Ankeny, Artin, and Chowla proved three of the four congruences from their earlier note using p-adic methods. Using p-adic L-functions we will give a cohesive explanation of these congruences as well as a new proof of the originally omitted congruence.
