Abstract

Let F be a formally real field and let Fpy be the Pythagorean closure of F. We discuss totally positive field extensions and prove that a totally positive field extension need not be totally real. For a central simple algebra A over a field F, pind(A) denotes the index of A over Fpy. We also prove a special case of the Becher’s conjecture.
