Abstract

Let dd and mm be two distinct squarefree integers and OK\mathcal{O}_K the ring of integers of the quadratic field K=Q(d)K=\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{d}). Denote by HK(α,m) H_K(\alpha, m) a quaternion algebra over KK, where αOK\alpha\in \mathcal{O}_K. In this paper we give necessary and sufficient conditions for HK(α,m) H_K(\alpha, m) to split over KK for some values of α\alpha, and we obtain a complete characterization of division quaternion algebras HK(α,m) H_K(\alpha, m) over KK whenever α\alpha and mm are two distinct positive prime integers. Examples are given involving prime Fibonacci numbers.
