Abstract

In this note, we present a chain lemma for biquaternion algebras over fields of characteristic 2 in the style of the equivalent chain lemma by Sivatski in characteristic not 2, and conclude a bound on the symbol length of classes in 2nBr(F){_{2^n}Br}(F) whose symbol length in 2n+1Br(F){_{2^{n+1}}Br}(F) is at most 4.
