Abstract

Let L be a proper finite Galois extension of a field K and let D be a division algebra with center K. If every subfield of D properly containing K contains a K-isomorphic copy of L, it is shown that K must be Pythagorean, L K(V - 1 ), and D is the ordinary quaternions over K. If one assumes only that every maximal subfield of D contains a K isomorphic copy of L, then, under the assumption that (D: K) is finite, it is shown that K is Pythagorean, L = K(V - 1), and D contains the ordinary quaternions over K.
