Division quaternion algebras over some cyclotomic fields

Abstract

Let p1, p2 be two distinct prime integers, let n be a positive integer, n≥ 3 and let n be a primitive root of order n of the unity. In this paper we obtain a complete characterization for a quaternion algebra H(p1, p2) to be a division algebra over the nth cyclotomic field Q(n), when n∈\3,4,6,7,8,9,11,12\ and also we obtain a characterization for a quaternion algebra H(p1, p2) to be a division algebra over the nth cyclotomic field Q(n), when n∈\5,10\. In the 4th section we obtain a complete characterization for a quaternion algebra HQ(n)(p1, p2) to be a division algebra, when n=lk, with l a prime integer, l 3 (mod 4) and k a positive integer. In the last section of this article we obtain a complete characterization for a quaternion algebra HQ(l)(p1, p2) to be a division algebra, when l is a Fermat prime number.
