Abstract

Analyzing square-central elements in central simple algebras of degree 4, we show that every two elementary abelian Galois maximal subfields are connected by a chain of nontrivially-intersecting pairs. Similar results are proved for non-central quaternion subalgebras, and for central quaternion subalgebras when they exist. Along these lines we classify the maximal square-central subspaces. We also show that every two standard quadruples of generators of a biquaternion algebra are connected by a chain of basic steps, in each of which at most two generators are being changed.
